Everyone on my team is different in terms of how long before a workout they prefer to eat. I like to eat my big meal 4.5-5 hours before I play. I usually eat a carb either rice or pasta with tofu or chicken. Around 2 hours before I play to like to eat greek yogurt with a banana.

The best part of being a pro is being able to travel around the world. I have met so many incredible people and experienced different cultures all through sport.

For me, setting and description is a challenge. I always want to get that part just right, and sometimes the words won't work.

Pickup lines are a major turn-off, they don't work on me and I tune them out. It's better to just be honest.

There are days when I don't want to go to the gym or find myself not super motivated upon arriving. I would visualize myself playing at the Olympics.

A good edit process turns rocks into diamonds, and every author should love that part as much as the creative phase. I do love it. It's a different side to writing. It's like the fine-tuning.

The editing process is a necessary evil. I can write until the cows come home but it is all garbage until it gets edited.
