Samm Russell


ORDER COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE

 

Samm Russell is like most of the girls on the Windham seventh grade field hockey team. She is playing and learning the game for the first time.

 

Russell has been a standout soccer and basketball player for a while. She is quickly making the transition to a standout field hockey player as well.

 

She has played goalie in her first two field hockey games against Westbrook and Gorham. She didn't allow a goal in either game, earning two shut outs in two starts in goal.

 

Russell is also a member of the Windham U13 girls travel soccer team and plays premier soccer for MCU in the winter and spring. She also plays travel and AAU basketball.

 

Q&A

 

WSP: Where do you see yourself in five years?

 

Samm: I will be in high school and would like to be one of the top goalies in soccer or field hockey. I will be looking to get into a good college. I'm not sure what I want to be but it will come to me.

 

WSP: Who is your role model in sports?

 

Samm: I don't have one. I don't want to copy anyone. I want to be the best I can be. But if I had to pick someone, it would be my older brother Zach.

 

WSP: Who is your role model in life?

 

Samm: I'm my own role model. I want to be myself.

 

WSP: How do you prepare for sports?

 

Samm: I have everything ready the day before.

 

WSP: Favorite sports memory?

 

Samm: It would have to be when my team went down to P.K.s in soccer. I was 11 and it was my first time blocking P.K.s. I saved them all and we won. Being goalie is really tough sometimes. When you save a goal, it feels good and your team is happy. When you miss one, the game ends and your team has lost, you start to feel that its all your fault sometimes. You're put into a lot of pressure.
