"Get Pumped Up"
I like to listen to music to get focused and motivated before a basketball game. Whitney Houston's song, "One Moment in Time" is a piece that truly asks for one moment in time where the individual can give everything he has to reach his destiny. This song is an index for when my basketball coach played it in the locker room before our championship state game. As my team and I sat on the benches listening to the song, my heart followed the beat of the drum and the sound of Whitney Houston's voice helped me visualize what I had to do on the court to help my team win the game. I felt a sense of communitas when I closed my eyes and listened to song. This piece definitely delivered its purpose because I was a basketball state champion that night.

One Moment In Time by Whitney is literally one of my all time favorite songs. We danced my lyrical production to this dance the year before Whitney passed away. When she did pass away we re-did the dance but kept the same song and we called it "Tribute to Whitney." All of my dance teachers, friends, and me are all huge Whitney fans and this song is just incredible and brings back so many memories. I completely agree that this song does truly ask for one moment in time and we both shared that one moment through this song whether you listened to it before a basketball game or when I was performing it onstage at one of my competitions. It is beyond powerful.
