Ashley Woody

Baron Banner: You\’re involved in both surf and field hockey, which one do you prefer?
Ashley Woody: Well, surfing is more relaxing and fun, whereas field hockey is more challenging. While surfing, it\’s really about how well I do as an individual, but field hockey is a lot more about teamwork.

AW: I\’m a three-year letterman in field hockey and I\’ve been surfing ever since I was eight years old.

BB: What university do you plan on attending after high school?
AW: Either Humbolt State or UC Santa Cruz.

BB: How do you feel about our field hockey team this season?
AW: So far it has been a really successful year. We were undefeated for about six games straight. This is definitely our year.

BB: What do you like to do in your spare time?
AW: Well, usually I\’m busy after school, but on weekends I like to hang out with my friends and play guitar.

BB: Do you have any advice for other athletes?
AW: Only play if you\’re enjoying what you do or else it\’s not worth it.

BB: Well, thank you for your time.
AW: You\’re welcome and thank you.
