Biggest sacrifice you’ve made for any team in your sporting career: Playing injured my senior year in high school. My knee was hurt and I could hardly even run.
Are you closer to your mother or your father? I’m close to both of them. They’ve been supporting me in everything I do. They haven’t pushed me, and have let me make my own decisions. They’re very encouraging.
Person who has influenced your career the most: My oldest brother, Duany. He’s always talked about the potential I have and he sees things. Every time I come home, he’ll help me with my game, sometimes two hours with my shot. He’s been a really great older brother.
First station you check when you turn on the television: Fox. I look for “Jenny Jones.” It’s my favorite show. I got to go to Jenny this summer with Suzy [Bendegue], Tia [Jackson] and my sister. We got pictures with Jenny.
Three people, dead or alive, with whom you want to have dinner, and what you would eat: Tia, Suzy and my sister, ’cause we had so much fun at “Jenny Jones.” We’d have Booey’s. That’s a joke, because we eat it all the time.
Last time you felt pain: When I walked up the Leavey [Center] stairs [about two minutes ago]. My knees.
