This is just like the Q and A feature but with a twist.
The athlete will pick seven random questions out of 30 or so pre-written questions out of a hat. Some of these are sports related, some are personal, some are meant to be comical. No matter what the question, an athlete has to answer it truthfully.
The first athlete for this feature is women's soccer player Lara "Tish" Tishler. She is a sophomore midfielder from Fountain Valley High School who had two goals and an assist in the season opener against Rio Hondo on Aug. 28.
Do you have any superstitions and why do you have or not have it?I always have to french braid my hair when I play soccer and my electric tape for my shin guards have to be taped the same way. Sometimes I have OCD a little and so my tape has to be pretty straight and same on both sides and I've just kept it that way. And the braid, I tried it out and had a good game with the braid in and kept it that way ever since.
Do you have any guilty pleasures?
Probably eating ice cream and cookie dough. My biggest thing is not making cookies when I have cookie dough. I'll end up eating those big jars of cookie dough and not making any of it.
What’s the most stressful thing that’s ever happened to you at OCC and why?
This first week right now has been really stressful. I got dropped out of two of my classes and one of mine was changed to something else - they changed the time on it - and I'm having to petition for three classes right now.
What's the weirdest thing in your room and why do you have it?
I have a bunch of dried out leis and flower laid out in my room. I have a branch/twig head wrap thing sitting in my room.
Do you think you deserve more playing time or why do you deserve or not deserve it?
I think I play a pretty good amount. I wouldn't mind playing a whole game, that wouldn't be to bad. I think I deserve it too. I work pretty hard out here, come to every practice, put forth a lot of effort on and off the field.
How many hours a day do you spend on Facebook, Myspace and/or Twitter and what else should you usually be doing instead?
I probably take half an hour to an hour a day, maybe. I don't really go on the computer that often. Instead I should be probably doing homework or something or go outside. I hate being stuck inside.
Complete this statement: If my coaches found out that I... they’d probably kill me.
I didn't tell my coach this but I was in a cast for a week and I took it off early. I was supposed to have it for two weeks and I didn't say anything. It's perfectly fine now but I did take it off a week early.
Questions you want answered by athletes can be submitted to coastreportsports@gmail.com and I would add it in the hat.
