Sonja, we will be using your post match interviews from today to teach our students how to frame & ask tough questions. Forthright, direct, impartial. There’s no time in post match interviews for any softeners. You are the master.
This is Charlie.
He was part of the

Class of 2020.
He then became our 1st ever Digital Media Intern.
He has been fantastic.
