The University of Texas at Austin Athletics
Quick hits with Jenny Andrew
11.15.2005 | Volleyball
Junior setter and Kingwood, Texas native, Jenny Andrew has stepped up this volleyball season, as one of the only upperclassmen on the team, to be a motivator to her younger, less-experienced teammates. It's not just Andrew's talent - and depth that she provides to the setter position - that makes her such an asset to this year's squad. It's also her outgoing personality, leadership and pride in her school that is sure to help propel the team deep into the postseason.
Recently Andrew took time out from practice to talk about the game of volleyball, her dream job and which Disney character she can't get enough of.

JA: "Nebraska, because it is always a good match and we always look forward to it the most."
Q: What do you like most about the game of volleyball?
JA: "The energy the team can bring to the court and that fact that we are there for each other on and off the court."
Q: If you could trade places with anyone for a day, who would it be?
JA: "I would actually love to trade places with my dad for the day so I could see everything he has to deal with working in Customs and everything he has to go through on a daily basis."
Q: If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?

Q: If you could live in another country, which one would you choose?
JA: "I can only really go off the ones I have been to and from those I would choose Austria. It was really amazing when we went there and it seemed like a cool place to relax."
Q: If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?

JA: "Dumbo! It was my favorite movie growing up and my mom says I always used to watch it."

JA: "Green is the only one I will eat. You will not catch me eating any other flavor."
