“I would worry about what other people thought about me, what my teammates were thinking. I got way too focused on that, so after a while, soccer wasn’t fun for me anymore. [But,] the school team is an environment where you can experiment and be creative with the ball, if you’re willing to take those chances, and I was able to do that," Muthu Panchanatham ('22) said.

“I enjoy the experimental part most, where you build an experiment to test the physics concepts and see the discrepancies between how [the system] should behave theoretically and how it actually behaves. That’s really useful for me, because if you keep studying formulas from a textbook, eventually it becomes monotonous, and you lose track of purpose," Sasvath Ramachandran (12) said.

“Volleyball is a more emotional sport than most, because everything is so fast-paced. Everyone, no matter how good you are, is going to mess up, and feel bad when they do. For most players who are in that situation, they’re really down on themselves and panicking. So what I try to do is pick them up, I try to be reassuring and calm them down instead of spreading more negativity,” Billy Fan (12) said.

“I've learned from a young age that I play better when I'm angry, so I try to take my aggression out when I’m playing, and that helps me to try to calm myself outside of the game. It’s helped me be able to focus all of my energy and anger towards a certain goal, instead of just holding it in. I take my anger out on the field, and then become a more happy and calm person off the field,” Marcus Anderson (12) said.
