Bio

MY NICKNAMES ARE:

 I don't have any nicknames, but everyone eventually pulls towards calling me T.


WHAT OR WHO INSPIRED ME TO COMPETE IN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL & VOLLEYBALL:

I believe watching people play in my hometown being really good at the sport drove me to want to be like them. Initially Michael jordan is the player that inspired me to want to be the best player I can be.


MY GAME DAY REGIMEN:

In the past I wouldn't prepare myself mentally for gamedays. Now I have a sort of ritual that I go through every practice and gameday. First I turn on my music for about 10 minutes, then I watch the Last Dance on Netflix for about 10 minutes, then I meditate for about 5-10 minutes with focused breathing and silence. On the drive to practice there are almost no words that comes out my mouth. When I get to the school I get on the bike and watch Michael Joran highlights. Now for gameday it's sort of similiar, I am almost silent on the drive to the game and I watch Michael Jordan highlights. I also bring my bible and read it along the way. Before we start the game I say a little prayer and kiss my cross.


MY MOTIVATION:

The will to want to be successful and get my degree. I also want to make the best out of any opportunity brought to me, because I know it is a blessing.


MY FAVORITE MEAL:

 My favorite meal is seafood gumbo made by my pops.
