DGS seniors Alexa Falotico and Courtney Ferreri have participated in DGS athletics since their freshman year. As athletes, they respond to some out-of-the-ordinary questions regarding sports. Given that they both play volleyball, their responses seem to indicate that they both would rather not vary from their specialty.

Q: If you were in the Olympics, what sport would you want to compete in?
A: Beach volleyball for the summer Olympic games and ice skating. That would be sick. – AF
I would want to do those fast down-the-hill skiing races. -CF

Q: If you could choose to do any sport at DGS, what sport would you do?
A: Gymnastics if I was good at it, but I’m not. -CF
And I’d say softball. -AF

Q: Would you ever want to be a professional athlete?
A: No I think sports are for fun for me. I just do it to keep in shape for now. -CF
I’m kind of the same way; it’s just a lot of stress and time management. -AF

Q: Is there any sport you tried that you were super bad at?
A: Basketball or soccer, I just don’t have coordination and I’m also not super aggressive. I don’t like getting up in people’s faces and blocking them. In volleyball, you have a section to protect. -AF

Q: Many people play soccer when they are little, did you ever participate in this popular sport for young children?
A: Soccer is just a lot of running and I don’t do running, I’m bad at running a lot. I will be on the floor if I have to run that much. -CF

I did soccer when I was really little and I was the kid on the field that was picking dandelions while everyone else was fighting over the ball. – AF
