5.
What is a typical game-day like for you, starting when you wake up?
I usually sleep in and lay in bed for a while when I wake up, thinking about the game.  If we are in town I eat a big breakfast by myself, and relax before class, but if we’re out of town I go out and eat with the rest of the team. We have a shoot around mid-day where we get shots up and run offences, after that I take the day to just lay around and relax, and try to go over the game play by play of how I want it to go.  Eat a pre-game meal either with the team or by myself depending on if we are home or away, about 2 hours before tip off then head to the gym shortly after to suit up and warm up. Then it’s game time.

6.
 Are you superstitious in regards to sports? If so, how so?
Not superstitious.

7.
 What is your favorite pre-game meal? 
Pasta chicken and salad. Lots of water and juice.   

8.
 You love basketball
because…
So many reasons. Basketball is  so unpredictable. At any night, a game can go either way, a player could go off and shoot lights out, or be totally flat and shoot all bricks.  It’s a great team sport because you can never win with just one player, everyone on the floor plays a part. It’s Canadian invented.

9. What is the best advice you have ever received?
‘Just keep shooting Bryan, they’ll fall.’ Haha

10.
 What advice would you give a young basketball
player?
Start good training habits early, because the longer you keep with bad or lazy habits, the harder they become to break. Play the game because you love it and have fun playing it, you’ll get more out of it.

11.
 If you could change one thing about  basketball
it would be?
Nothing.


12.
  Do you have any other talents?

I’m as good of a Volleyball player as I am a basketball player.


13.
  What do you enjoy on off-days?

Sleeping. Spending time with friends and family.

14.  If you could witness one moment in history, it would be?
Fire being discovered. Or the wheel being invented.

 

15. Who has influenced your sporting career the most?
Myself. I’ve had an amazing amount of support from my family, and coaches I’ve had that have helped me as I grew as a player, and still help me now, but the reason I have succeeded is because I was determined to.  People would tell me I couldn’t do it, and I did it because I wanted to.
