Myria Garcia is a freshman tennis player from Lakewood High School.
What is your favorite movie? Why?
My favorite movie is Now You See Me because of the way magic adds fun and unpredictable twists to the movie. I love the mix of action and comedy in a plot that always has me interested.
What is your favorite pre-competition meal?
I always love to eat spaghetti before a game or match because its a comforting, delicious, and good food to eat before a game.
Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete?
My favorite college athlete would have to be soccer player Mallory Pugh because she is an amazing player, especially at such a young age. She is also from my soccer club so that empowers a certain pride I attach to her. She is a huge inspiration of mine.
Why do you participate in sports?
I participate in sports for the passion and emotions that come with every practice, win, and loss. I play for the certain feeling when you never want the practice or game to end. I play for the feeling where I crave to play this sport forever. In addition, is the feeling of success after you've worked so hard for it. When its hot and your exhausted but you know you've given it all you've got, is an amazing feeling.
Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals?
If I am in an important tournament, I usually find myself superstitiously always wearing the same socks.
What are your plans for after high school graduation?
After high school graduation I have plans of making it into a D1 school where I can pursue a career in the medical field, perhaps Sports Medicine or a bone doctor.
