MH: What is your year, team, position and major?

CW: I’m a second-year student, first year on the men’s basketball team. I’m a shooting guard, and I’m studying education.

MH: How did you first get involved with basketball?

CW: My dad played basketball, and I have two older siblings who played basketball, so I’ve been involved with basketball from a young age. Back in kindergarten I was playing in the driveway with my family, so they are definitely what got me into basketball.

MH: Tell us about your favourite basketball moment.

CW: My favourite moment is probably one of my best basketball games in high school. I was in Grade 11, and we were playing a home game. I hit 10 three-pointers, which was my best ever personally as well as in the school record.

MH: What are you most looking forward to for next season?

CW: I’m just looking forward to improving. I think that’s a big thing for me. I want to be able to do more in practice and then do more in the game. Hopefully I get more minutes. I’m just looking for a progression of me getting better and stronger, because this is my first year on the team eligibility wise. For school I’m looking forward to more of the hands-on experiences in the education program when we’re going to schools. Overall, I’m just really big on trying to improve and get better every day. 

MH: What does your time after TWU look like, both for volleyball and a career?

CW:  It would be helpful to do the education program all the way to the end, which will be my last year of school. I’ll be doing six years of school, and my goal is to do the PDP program at the same time. My goal is to become a PE teacher while still playing basketball. I don’t know if going pro is in my cards, but I want to continue playing in a men’s league. Later on, I want to have a family and just enjoy life.
