Extra Time: Tegan McGrady

Q: Would you rather have a cook or a maid?
A: Maid, absolutely. I really enjoy cooking, but am pretty lazy when it comes to cleaning.
 
Q: Pizza or ice cream?
A: PIZZA! Best food, hands down.
 
Q: What was your childhood nickname?
A: Tigger, the character from Winnie the Pooh, because I would always have so much energy, bouncing off the walls, everyone thought it was a perfect fit. It's also my favorite Disney Character.

Q: Who's your favorite Disney Princess?
A: This question is ridiculously hard for me as I am literally Disney addict. But if I had to choose…probably Belle from Beauty and the Beast (easily could also be Cinderella or Ariel).
 
Q: Why'd you choose your number?
A: It was my mom's number (9) that she had growing up playing soccer, so of course I wanted to follow in her footsteps.
 
Q: If you could bathe in any substance other than water, what would it be?
A: If it's a cold day then a vanilla latte, if it's a hot day then an iced vanilla latte. I could live off vanilla lattes.
 
Q: What is your favorite day of the week? Why?
A: Friday!!! The weekend has just started, you're feeling great, and you still have Saturday to do things. Not even thinking about next week or Sunday yet – fun only!

Q: What is your favorite holiday?
A: Christmas, because being with family is my favorite. There's so much love in the air, giving and spending time with the people you love most. I love the decorations and the food – decorating my family's Christmas tree with hot coco next to the fire is the best.
 
Q: Favorite 90's jam?
A: "This Is How We Do It" – Montell Jordan, such a classic, chill vibes.
 
Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: Besides a professional soccer player, I would love to be a sports broadcaster/reporter/commentator – it has always been a dream of mine, and I am interning at NBC Bay Area this summer in the sports broadcasting department.
