This month\u2019s recipient is Senior Nicholas Stocks. Here\u2019s what he had to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. What are your&nbsp;thoughts on winning this award?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I appreciate having my hard work acknowledged by my teammates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. How do you think our first tournament went?&nbsp; What team skills does the team need more work on?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a team, we learned a lot about ourselves. The rookies performed well for it being their first tournament and the veterans did an excellent job assisting the rookies. Moving forward, we need to focus on improving our communication on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. What is a personal dodgeball goal you want to&nbsp;achieve before nationals?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My goal is to continue to work on my throw, so it becomes solid and consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Do you have any advice for the rookies regarding dodgeball or skills practices?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make it a priority to come to practice. If you want to improve, consistent attendance is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/10\/BOTM-template-1-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/10\/BOTM-template-1-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/10\/BOTM-template-1-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/10\/BOTM-template-1-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/10\/BOTM-template-1-102x128.png 102w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/10\/BOTM-template-1-26x32.png 26w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2024\/10\/BOTM-template-1.png 1080w\" 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>The Baller 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 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/2024\/10\/02\/september-baller-of-the-month\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;September Baller of the Month&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":80,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-baller-of-the-month"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/80"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2798"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2798\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2853,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2798\/revisions\/2853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
