10 Questions with Field Hockey's Alyssa DePaola

1. I’ve done quite a bit of research on you, so this should be interesting. How did you get into playing field hockey?

I actually started in sixth grade because my gym teacher was the coach and she asked me to try out for the team. That was basically it.No one in my family had ever really played sports, but she asked me and I was like, alright, I’ll try it. And so it began.

And you lived happily ever after. But it’s a pretty savage sport ...

It is.

I would go so far as to say it’s the most violent women’s sport since roller derby, if I may say that. Did that play any role in why you play the game?

No, but I’ve got to say, I enjoy it.

You enjoy it?

I do. I mean, you get a little physical, why not?
