How long have you been playing your esports title competitively?
I have been playing Overwatch competitively for over a year and with Rocket League, very recently.
What is something you do to improve?
Something I want to improve within my gameplay would have to be mechanics, no matter what game.
What is a goal you have in esports this semester?
My goal this semester with esports is to go to the playoffs with either team I am on.
What is something that you appreciate in a teammate?
I appreciate a teammate who is dedicated and practices as much as he/she can.
What advice do you have for high school students who are interested in esports?
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Even if you don't think your good, still tryout. Maybe you will discover you're not as bad as you think you are.

Rushell has been a part of the varsity Overwatch team since the start of Fall 2021. She plays primarily in a Damage role and has put in the hours to keep up her competitive rank. To improve, she researches strategies and works on implementing them into her game. Her advice for aspiring players is, "Send it! Do what scares you. Try new things, whether that is esports or life—just try."
Emily Welch
Senior - Accounting and Ethics

"I just started playing Esports competitively and practice daily to try to improve. My goal this semester is to improve and be a great team player. I really appreciate teammates who understand that not everyone has the experience that they do and work to help everyone be the best they can be in a team setting. If a high school student is interested in esports I would tell them that it isn’t all about the game; it's also about working as a team, and if they are interested [in esports] they should go for it!" - Emily Welch
