Q and A
Give me a short scouting report on yourself as a player. What are your strengths?
- I am a very intense player when it comes to the game. I am willing to do whatever it takes to win or at least be happy with the outcome of the game.
Can you tell us one unusual thing about yourself that others may not know?
- I love to go fishing and hunting or anything outdoors when i have the chance with my dad. My mom and I go hiking all over the country i've been to a lot of beautiful national parks and we just spend a lot of family time there. I also have a the nickname Pete. It was given to me when I was around 10 years old and it has just stuck since then.
What's the best part of playing high school volleyball and why?
- My favorite thing about playing high school volleyball is being able to represent your school and you get to play for all your friends who wouldn't normally come to your games and the atmosphere is just amazing. It also is super cool when you get to play against your club teammates on their team.
Tell me about the outlook for your team this year. What are the strengths of your team?
- My club team this year is very capable of doing some damage we are just struggling right now to find out click but i can feel it coming together slowly. My high school team is a very young team so we will have some advantages on time together and playing together so we will have a stronger bond.
What other activities are you involved in at the high school level?
- I used to play softball but I no longer do because of my volleyball schedule so now I just do volleyball year round.
What type of training do you do in the offseason?
- I am a very active outdoor person so in that one month of time that I have off I hangout with my friends and we always go somewhere and just explore.
