This week I was able to sit down and talk with Mackenzie Moss who is a young and integral part of the Volleyball team. We delve into everything from how her experience as a student athlete at COD has been to what her and her teammates do to have fun on the road.

Carlos Peterson: How’d you decide to come to COD for volleyball?

Mackenzie Moss: My friend Makenna was playing volleyball here at COD and I just wanted the opportunity to play with her one more time. The coach here was also a factor in my decision.

CP: Is there anything in particular about the coach that you like?

MM: He’s coaches me hard when I need to be coached and improve my game.

CP: What are some of the things you’ve been doing to improve your game?

MM: Mainly just trying to stay focused when I play and really lock in

CP: What’s the experience playing on the team been like?

MM: It’s been fun, really fun to be able to play at this level.

CP: What about the experience do you like?

MM: The travel has been a lot of fun as well as being able to have good teammates.

CP: What are some the things you girls do for fun?

MM: In between sets we like to dance to the music that comes on over the speakers and really have fun with it. Only when we’re winning though

MM: We love to watch the office on the bus

MM: Not really. I usually fall asleep but I’ll watch it sometimes.

CP: What is your favorite show right now?

MM: I would have to say the Foster’s is my favorite show

CP: How are you juggling all of the responsibility as you transition to COD?

MM: I’ve still been adjusting because now I can get all of my homework done without the stress of volleyball.

CP: Was it really stressed for time?

MM: Yeah because we’d have to travel for games some weekends and we wouldn’t be getting back until Sunday and I’d have papers to write that were due for that week
