Seton Hall’s top female diver, Gabby Signorelli is giving us the inside scoop on being a Pirate Athlete, and reflecting on her experience as she starts her final semester here at the Hall.
Her Campus (HC): How do you feel starting your last semester here at Seton Hall?
Gabby Signorelli (GS): I am extremely indecisive about my true feelings for starting my last semester. I am excited for Big East and graduation but also feeling sad that this amazing time of my life is coming to an end.
HC: What are you planning to do when you graduate?
GS: After I graduate I plan to get a job in order to start my career, but to also start training for Triathlons, which has been a goal of mine for many years.
HC: What will you miss most about being a student athlete?
GS: I will miss being a part of an amazing team. On and off the pool deck my teammates have always been there for me and given me the support I need in order to do well. They make working hard fun and rewarding.
HC: The Swimming & Diving Big East Championships are coming up soon, how are you feeling about competing?
GS: Big East is coming up soon and I could not be more excited, it’s my favorite meet of the entire year. The positive energy that comes with it makes swimming/diving even more fun and enjoyable.
HC: Would you say there is more pressure on you to do well since you’ve won Big East the last two years?
GS: I feel that there is no pressure, I’m just eager and impatient to get there and compete in front of friends, family and fans.
HC: How do you psych yourself up for big competitions like Big East?
GS: I am the most psyched when I see my other teammates, swimmers and divers, compete well! Their excitement is contagious.
HC: What is your favorite dive and why?
GS: My favorite dive is 203C or back one and a half tuck. I find this dive to be fun and easy to do over and over again. I love practicing this dive. Perfecting it is my favorite thing to do.
Wishing all of our winter athletes good luck at Big East this year!
