Today I am interviewing Troy women’s soccer player, Alisa Detlefsen. Alisa has been playing at Troy for the past two years and is a sophomore at Troy University. She is from Jacksonville, Florida and has been playing soccer for 15 years and is a center midfielder. She has been a starter at Troy since her freshman year and she is a soon to be junior.
Question 1: Why did you decide to come to Troy?
Answer: “I decided to come to Troy because, I liked the team atmosphere and the coaching staff. I also loved the location of the school because it’s not too far from home, but it’s not too close either. I also liked the way the team played and how well the girls got along with each other. The team just really seemed like it was the perfect match for me, and I am very glad I made the decision to come here”.
Question 2: What is your favorite part about being on the Troy Women’s Soccer Team?
Answer: “The best part about being on the Troy Women’s Soccer Team is the second family that I have gained since being apart of the team. All of us girls get along really well and we are always there to help and support each other. I consider each of the girls not just my teammates, but my friends and we do just about everything together. It’s nice being apart of a team because you always have people to go to who can easily relate to myself whether it’s soccer or school stuff”.
Question 3: What’s the biggest challenge of playing a college sport?
Answer: “The biggest challenge I have when it comes to playing a college sport is time management. We are either always training, working out or traveling and sometimes it gets really hard to handle everything at once. I am a graphic design major and I constantly have assignments due all the time that require a lot of time and sometimes it can get really hard to find the time to get everything done in time”.
Conclusion: After interviewing Alisa I was able to get a closer look into what makes Troy soccer a good fit for her and what some of the challenges she faces while playing on the team.
