Lower Columbia College Red Devils

Meet Kendal:

Why did you choose to become a Red Devil?
My highschool volleyball coach is really the reason I am playing still, she made me realize that I was not ready to part ways with sports or get thrown into a normal adult life so she helped me reach out to Troy and ever since then I was set. After talking to Troy for the first time and ghosting his goals and plans for the team and the upcoming season I began to get excited. It seemed like the perfect place for me, meeting my future teammates also sealed the deal. 

What is your greatest athletic achievement or memory so far?
It is hard for me to narrow down one memory that I could consider “the best” because there are so many. Just thinking about my senior year it seems unreal, I went to state in all three of my sports. My volleyball team placed 5th, Basketball placed 6th, and for track my favorite relay the 4x4 placed 7th. Besides getting hardware the real prize of the last 4 years are the memories I have made with my friends along the way. Nothing will ever compare to friendship. 

Do you have any pre-game rituals or superstitions? 
I don’t really have much of a pregame ritual, I typically stay pretty quiet and try to lock in and focus. Sometimes if I am super nervous I run around a little bit, skip, hop, and jump. But nothing much more than that. 

Who is your favorite professional athlete or biggest role model, and why?
My biggest role model seems cliché but it has to be my mom. There is nobody better to look up to, I am proud of who she is and what she has accomplished. I strive to be as kind and hardworking as she is everyday. 

What is your personal goal for the upcoming season?
My two main goals are to be proud of myself and what my team is able to accomplish and just have fun. In the past I have struggled to just enjoy sports because I worry too much about making mistakes and being the best I can be and forget it’s just game. Have fun!

Go-to hype song or artist on your warm-up playlist:
I don’t listen to hype music but one song that will always put me in a good mindset and remind me of a very special time is Sunday Morning by Maroon 5. IFYKYK

Favorite movie, TV show, or pop-culture obsession: 
It is hard for me to choose a single favorite thing so all I have for an answer is romance and thriller movies and shows are my favorite. 

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
If i could choose a superpower I would choose teleportation or the ability to move things with my mind. I feel like those two would just make life so much simpler and more enjoyable. 

What is your ultimate post-game meal?
I would have to go with either Mcdonald’s or Tacobell. No specific meal comes to mind but it’s just the go to quick stop fast food when you are starving after a game. 

Do you have any hidden talents? 
Nope 

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you bring?
If I give a real answer that isn’t like “a helicopter” or “walmart” I feel like I could survive a while with a knife, matches, and a fishing pole. I would have to get creative though.
