ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Victor Gonzalez

Victor Gonzalez

Q: Who is your favorite athlete?
A: Ronaldinho, the famous Brazilian. He inspires me, really. He doesn’t let anything get in his way, no matter what it is.

Q: Who is your greatest inspiration?
A: I have three, actually. The first one is my dad, the second one is my mom and the third is my coach.

Q: Do you have any pre-game rituals?
A: Last year, I remember us all getting together and praying before the game. We’re Catholic, so we do a whole worship.

Q: How have your coaches made you a better player?
A: They’re honest with me. They tell me what I need to work on, what I’m good at, what I need to do to get better. They tell me not only when I’m in school to do the right thing, but when I’m out of school as well.
