Below are Mallory Martin’s answers to CKSN’s Five Questions.
1. What is your career sports highlight/top memory?
Winning silver in Provincials for hockey. Also representing my school as the first female to ever make it to OFSSA in Barrie for golf.
2. Who is your favourite professional sports team and athlete?
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Patrick Kane.
3. If you could achieve one thing/goal in sports, what would it be?
My goal from the start is to always give my absolute best with the sports that I play and I feel I have achieved that goal and as a result have improved over the years.
4. Who has been your biggest sports influence and why?
My dad has been my biggest sports influence. He has been my coach in hockey and baseball for most of my athletic career and has always been there encouraging me on the bench or in the stands since I was a little girl.
5. What do you love most about playing sports?
Most of the sports I play are team sports, therefore I love the team aspect that sports allow you to have. I also love being active and as an athlete who started young I’ve developed a love for sports, which encourages me to try new sports and push myself to improve in others.
