Do you play other sports? Volleyball and softball

Do you prefer playing team or individual sports? Why? Team because it’s another family and you look forward to going to practice.

Do you prefer playing offense or defense? Why? That’s a tough one…I would say defense because that moment when you get that steal and bring it back for a basket is the best.

What’s your pre-game ritual? The girls and I go to a team dinner, if it’s a home game, and have fun…have fashion shows. Before the game, we blast the music as loud as it can go.

What’s your favorite warm-up song? “Can’t Be Touched” by Roy Jones Jr.

What’s been your greatest sports moment so far? We were playing against Sturgeon Bay in softball and I hit a three-run homerun that went dead over center.

What’s been the worst? When I found out I tore my rotator and I was out for seven months.

Is there an athlete – or anyone else – who inspires you? I would say my dad because he has sports records that I want to beat and he has always helped me with every sport…I want to grow up to be like him.

What’s your favorite sports team to watch? The Green Bay Packers
