Q and A

Give me a short scouting report on yourself as a player. What are your strengths?

  • My main strengths are making moves and finishing in the paint but I can stretch out and hit the three consistently as well.

Can you tell us one unusual thing about yourself that others may not know?

  • In my off time, I like to play video games with my friends and sometimes go to a local court with a nine foot hoop and play pick up.

What's the best part of playing high school basketball and why?

  • I enjoy showing our team culture every night to our opponents but I also enjoy showing off the hard work my teammates and I have put in to our fans and classmates.

Tell me about the outlook for your team this year. What are the strengths of your team?

  • My team has a lot of weapons coming into this year. Our main goal is to be in the Timberwolves locker room.

What other activities are you involved in at the high school level?

  • I also play baseball my positions are first base and pitcher. I am also in a few school clubs to stay involved in not only sports.

What type of training do you do in the offseason?

  • My high school coaches have a three-week team camp and a two-week skill camp in the summer. Throughout those five weeks we have tournament and league games as a team. I play for the Wisconsin Playmakers North, go to various camps, and get as many shots up as possible and get into the weight room at least every other day through a school program.

This is an example of a player profile from the 2020 Breakdown guidebook to Minnesota high school softball. We feature hundreds of players each year in our books. Please visit our bookstore to see our entire book collection at: https://breakdownsportsusa.sportngin.com/register/form/661496326

Breakdown featuring our daily spotlight players

Every weekday until the official high school sports seasons begin (an unknown date with the current world situation), BREAKDOWN SPORTS will be featuring a spotlight player in each of the seven sports we cover! 

With the high school sports world on pause, THE BREAKDOWN wants to make sure these athletes are recognized for their accomplishments on the field, court, rink, diamond, etc.

The schedule of spotlight players will be as follows:

  • Monday: softball
  • Tuesday: baseball
  • Wednesday: girls' volleyball
  • Thursday: boys' and girls' basketball
  • Friday: boys' and girls' hockey

Each of our spotlight players will have action and posed photos, as well as the Q and A information they provided for this past year's Breakdown book in their respective sport.
