They are always looking for ways to get better and want to make an impact on the court. The award is voted on by their teammates and this year\u2019s most improved player is Zach Brand. Let\u2019s take a look at his interview and what he has to say about winning this award!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. What are your thoughts on winning this award? <\/strong><br><br>I&#8217;m honestly surprised. I personally didn&#8217;t expect to be nominated for the award because I couldn&#8217;t see my improvements.  <br><br><strong>Q. What moment or moments from this past season are you most proud of?<\/strong> <br><br>I don&#8217;t have any personal moments that I can think of, but the team\u2019s best moments were the way we all chipped in to help the rookies or anyone confused about an aspect of Dodgeball. <br><br><strong>Q. What skills do you hope to continue focusing on?  Any new skills you want to learn? <\/strong><br><br>The skills I need to work on are my catching and blocking.  The rest will come with time and experience. <br><br><strong>Q. What are your goals for this coming season? <\/strong><br><br>I don&#8217;t have any goals for myself, but my overall hope is to see my team succeed in their goals and that they can improve to a point where they are proud of what they&#8217;ve accomplished. <br><br><strong>Q. What is something you are looking forward to for next season? <\/strong><br><br>I want to prove to the rest of the NCDA wrong when it comes to Platteville. We are not a team to be taken lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-310x465.jpg 310w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-60x90.jpg 60w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-85x128.jpg 85w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-21x32.jpg 21w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC03349-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This award is given to the individual that puts in the work and effort to improve and take their game to the next level.
