This week’s installment of 5Q’s takes you onto the Georgia State soccer pitch where The Signal got a chance to catch up with junior Chris Locandro, a neuroscience major from Kennesaw, Ga.
Homecoming
“I wanted to be closer to home. I was also interested in doing some research because I’m a neuroscience major and the school I was previously at [Colgate] there weren’t really any opportunities for that.”
Expectations
“I think two years ago I played a little better than I did last year, so get back to that. I was great on offense-consistent- and I really didn’t make many mistakes on defense.”
Toughest players to defend
“The more agile, the better he is with his feet, that can throw me off. Usually I can handle the size. The ones that get me are the guys that are tricky with their feet.”
Funniest teammate
“Tyler [Prince]. He isn’t funny himself, he isn’t a comedic person. But just the way he acts, it’s funny to watch and he’s just a goofball basically.”
Famous encounter
“About five days ago I was eating in Midtown and I ate next to Rampage Jackson [mixed martial artist and actor]. I didn’t say anything to him, but I thought that was really cool.”
First Car
“Audi A4. It was used and it actually had 140,000 miles I think.”
Favorite soccer player
“I would have to go with Messi. He’s so good with his feet and he reads the game really well.”
More goals please?
“I do. I think I had one shot last season; I don’t even get a chance to go up on corners or anything. But I think coach is confident with me where I am.”
Pregame Meal
“I would rather eat too much than eat too little. I usually try to eat pasta before hand, just for the carbs.”
Dream travel destination
“Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I heard it’s for advanced skiers, which I don’t consider myself that. But eventually I’ll get there.”
