Keeping Score With…

My favorite pre-competition meal would be pasta and fruit. I love my simple sugars more than anything, so a peach, some strawberries or blueberries is always a hit. But I need those carbs before matches, so just some buttered noodles with cheese really hits the spot.

My favorite athlete is Novak Djokovic. He is an exceptional professions tennis player ranked No. 1 in the world. Being a tennis player, my favorite sport to watch is tennis. I first saw him playing in Wimbledon when I was younger (before he was No. 1) and the way he carried himself on and off the court amazed me, and since then, he has been my favorite player.

I tend to listen to music just so I can zone. Focus on what I want to do and how I want to execute my plan. I like to block out the outside world and focus on how I want to approach my match.

I like all types of music depending on my mood. I will listen to the pop songs if I want to sing, some rap if I’m just in a mood, maybe some country if I feel like it, and if I’m having a hard day I will turn on Christian music. My favorite artist is Rihanna. I love her voice and her looks. She just amazes me with her talent.

My favorite book is “House Rules” by Jodi Piccoult. I enjoy the story line as well as the way she wrote it. Each chapter starts with a court case summary that relates to the chapter. The book is a huge mystery until the end, with forensic science, as well as some humor.
