Morgan Simkovic is a senior and a member of the Jefferson-Morgan basketball team.

Every great player has to get their start somewhere. When asked why she joined the basketball team, Simkovic responded with “I’ve played sports with these girls all my life so I wanted to get back to my team.

While a player may be great, they all have flaws. There is no such thing as a perfect athlete, According to Simkovic. Her weakness is dribbling.

“I really struggle with dribbling, I was never very good at dribbling even when I was younger.” said Simkovic.

There’s a sense of camaraderie and belonging in sports. Players share many tips and tricks with one another, because if one member improves the whole team improves.

A tip Simkovic would like to pass on to new basketball players is to enjoy yourself above all else.

“Work hard and never give up, enjoy every minute of every sport you play because it goes ENTIRELY too fast.” Simkovic explained.

Good luck to Simkovic and the rest of the JM winter athletes!
