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 team throughout the month. January’s winner is Ben Breidenbach! Here are his responses to some brief interview questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Q. How does it feel to be receiving this award?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels great to receive baller of the month for January. It was a long and grueling week, but the team put the work in that allowed me to play at a high level resulting in this award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. How has this season been different from last season?  What improvements have you made?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last season I had to leave after the first semester thanks to injuries. This season I’ve developed recovery techniques that allow me to stay healthy (for the most part).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Where do you see yourself on the team next year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope to gain more leadership and\/or responsibility within the team. Further, I’d like to achieve more balance in my offense and defensive abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. What do you hope the team accomplishes at nationals this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, I’d like to see my team score some wins, but I’d also like to put our talent and on-court communication to the test against some of the best teams in the league. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

We are extremely grateful that he came back after his extended break, and he is a joy to be around. Ben also wholeheartedly supports our emerging women’s team, and his contribution to our growth means the world. We can’t wait to see what else he has to offer for the rest of the season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
