Q & A

Warrior: What was the hardest thing you had to overcome in becoming a better player?

NF: “Definitely becoming a more confident and poised player. I’ve played with girls and guys who are stars and I really had to find my own style of play and calm myself down on the court.”

Warrior: What inspired you to play basketball at Lane?

NF: “My biggest inspiration was simply that I love the game and I wanted to play at a school with a great reputation.

Warrior: Did you have to overcome any injuries?

NF: “Junior year I had a lower back injury. It was not fun because I just sat on the bench and watched my team. I felt helpless.”

Warrior: How do you get ready for games?

NF: “Music pumps me up. I usually listen to super gangster rap like Young Jeezy, T.I., Mellow Hype, and Danny Brown. I have my own basketball playlist.”

Warrior: How dedicated are you as a player?

NF: “I am very dedicated. I have not missed a regular season game or a full practice yet.”
