» When did you know you were good at your sport?
"Sophomore year after one of the games, a [reporter] asked to interview me. I was shocked. I didn't even think I was that good. I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. I'd never been interviewed before. I remember my coach had to pull me aside and tell me how to go about interviews."
