10 Questions with Steven Cook
Cook is a senior Basketball player for New Trier. The forward is committed to Princeton University.
Do you have any pre-game rituals or superstitions?
Usually the big thing is music. During my pregame, I have to listen to the right kind of music to get me in the right mood, some rock or hip-hop, anything with a good beat.
Who is your favorite basketball player?
That's a tough one. I actually really like Damian Lillard [PG-Portland Trail Blazers]. He's a great player, a great leader. he can do so many different things for his team. And he's not a huge, well-known guy.
What kind of music are you listening to?
Mainly popular rap, like Kanye or J. Cole. I also like early '90s rap, like A Tribe Called Quest. Anything with a good beat.
If you played another sport for New Trier, what would it be?
Probably football. I have a lot of friends on the team. I played when I was middle school at North Shore Country Day; I played wide receiver. It would just be a lot of fun to play that game with friends.
What is your favorite thing to do off the court?
Off the court, I mainly watch basketball, a lot of college basketball now that it has started, some NBA — any basketball that's on TV. I go see movies and just hang out with friends.
What most excites you about next year and Princeton?
I'm really excited about the opportunity to compete as an athlete at Princeton. It's a place not completely focused on athletics so you can experience it like a normal student.
What do you want to study?
I'm really undecided. I've gotten advice from a lot of people and what I hear is take classes that interest you early and see what you like. ... I'm open to whatever comes my way.
If you won the lottery, what would be your first purchase?
I would have to say court-side Bulls' season tickets. I got to a lot of games and I'm always looking court side and wishing I was there.
What is something most people don't know about you?
Probably that athleticism is not a huge thing in my family. My younger brother [Brian, freshman at NSCD] is an actor, and my older brother [John, University of Virginia] played football, but athletics are really not his thing. A lot of people at New Trier come from athletic families.
How is the team looking this year and what do you expect?
After the first game [62-39 win over Harper], I'm really optimistic. Me and Reid [Berman] and Austin Angel and some other seniors have experience and we have a lot of younger guys with talent. Looking at our schedule, I see a lot of teams we can beat, hopefully get a good record and make a run in the playoffs.
