Q&A WITH JOSH
When did you start thinking about playing college basketball?
I started thinking about playing college basketball when I was a freshman in high school.
You've been recognized as a leader on this team for some time now, who in your life inspired your leadership style?
I would say that all the coaches I've had in my life have taught me how to be a leader in many different ways. I think the key to being a good leader is being a hard worker but also knowing how to adapt to the environment you are put in and being able to push those around you to accomplish the goals we all strive to achieve.
As a senior, what advice do you have for your freshmen teammates?
My advice would be to learn from everything and always take the coaching for what it is because they just want us to be our absolute best. Never get too up when things are good and never too low when things are bad.
