ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Brittany Gilpin
Brittany Gilpin
Q: Who is your favorite athlete?
A: I watch a lot of basketball, so I’d have to say Michael Jordan. He’s accomplished so much during his career and made a name for himself, and I think that’s really important.
Q: Who is your greatest inspiration?
A: My greatest inspiration is my dad. He does so much on his own, and he inspires me to do more and be better.
Q: Do you have any pre-game rituals?
A: Before I play, I always have to listen to music to get pumped up before the game. And every team I’ve been on, we’ve always danced before the game.
Q: What kind of career do you want to pursue?
A: I’ve changed my mind a lot recently. I used to want to be a veterinarian, but now I think I want to go into public relations or something like that.
