The Rookie of the Month award is an award given monthly to a player voted on by their teammates to recognize all the hard work they have put into the team throughout the month. February’s winner is David Laux! He is a currently pursing a Mechanical Engineering degree and expects to graduate in 2028. Here are his responses to some brief interview questions.
What are you most looking forward to at nationals this year?
The experience. This is my first two day tournament, so I’m excited to be able to play twice as much.
What has been your proudest moment of this season?
My proudest moment is when we faced Illinois (UIUC) in December because they are a good team but we were still able to go to overtime.
What do you wish you’d worked on more?
I wish I did more work with my accuracy. A lot of the time I throw without getting outs.
What impact do you hope you’ll have on incoming players next year?
I hope to lead by making an example of what real effort looks like.
David has shown some real talent this year, and we are excited to see what roles he’ll fill down the road in his dodgeball career and what goals he’ll accomplish!
