Most Important Value of being on a team and why:
"I think the most important value to have on a team is laulima, or teamwork. It seems ridiculous to say that, but it is true. No matter how great one person is, the team will not succeed without cooperation and open communicaiton."
What do you offer a team and what is your strongest trait, either physically or mentally?
"I think I offer the team control. I feel that whenever things aren't going our way or my teammates are going through mental or physical hardships, I am there to encourage them to get over the "bump in the road" and continue playing."
