Who is a player (at any level) you look up to, and why?: Kobe Bryant, he’s mentally the strongest player I’ve ever seen.
What do you love about representing Penn High School?:  I love showing people who we are on the field. Showing them we can play.
What traits do you love in a team leader?: Chemistry, I always want to feel close to team leaders.
What advice would you give a freshman about Penn Athletics?: Don’t be timid, but also don’t be overly confident. Find a happy medium.
What is your favorite sports movie, and why?: “Rocky”. It’s a great story of perseverance and determination.

What do you love about your sport?: The people around me. In baseball it’s so easy to get close with your teammates.
If you can have lunch with any living person, who would it be, and what would you talk about?: Michael Jordan, because he’s the closest person to Kobe. But I would mostly talk about the mental side of sports, then we’d probably talk about 90s basketball as a whole.
