Q: Who is your favorite football player and/or team?

A: WFA Boston Renegades and Patriots.

Q: what got you interested in playing full contact football?

A: I got interested in playing tackle football by just seeing people do it on tv and at school, but then I took a real interest and started playing flag, which I loved.

Q: what challenges have you faced playing on a team made up mostly of boys and how have you overcome them?

A: The challenges I’ve faced on a football team with all boys are mainly unfairness or just the pressure of being a girl on the team. When boys or people in general act as if I’m less then when I play football or talk about it, it used to affect me heavily, but now I realize that’s just life and playing football the best way I can, is always more important then judgmental people. The pressure of being a girl on a high school team is high, but when you love the sport, it doesn’t matter.

Q: What advice would you give to other girls who are playing or thinking about playing full contact football?

A: Just do it and do it your way. You’ll always come out on top when you are always playing 100%.
