LJ b beach VB: Q & A with Sonny Wiczynski

By Ed Piper

While the Vikings were starting up against Torrey Pines at The Pit, across from Belmont Park and the Big Dipper roller-coaster ride in South Mission Beach Tues., Sept. 12.

Sonny Wiczynkski, whose given name is James, is a sophomore teamed with fellow soph Ben Salmon, who wasn't present.

Q: In your game, what are you working on right now?

Sonny: I'm going to try to work on blocking, and jumper higher (which is hard on the sand--different from indoor court). That's pretty much it. And hitting--placement.

Q: Communication with a partner in beach. It's very crucial.

Definitely that's a part of a high-level game, 'cause when you're up hitting, they can see everything you can't. You need to know that they will come down and tell you where, how hard...

Q: What is your experience with different partners, like getting along personally, communication with words?

You really need a partner you can get along with, that you two can work together well. But it needs to be someone who can accept when I do wrong--especially that.

Q: On this thing I got from Jake (Northrup, head coach), Ben is your partner. That's the case?

Yeah.

Q: What works (between you)? Why did you choose to partner with him?
