Lennart Kober is a freshman on the men’s tennis team from Paderborn, Germany.

Q: If you could have a special talent or be the absolute best at something, what would you choose?

A: I used to play the cello, but I think I’d choose to be the best at video games, especially FIFA football– or soccer, as you call it here. Nowadays you could also even win some money from gaming tournaments.

Q: What is your favorite book or film?

A: I’m going to go with a TV show, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” It’s just so funny, and I love the main actor, Andy Samberg. I think my favorite episode of the whole show has to be where they have the Halloween heist.

Q: What is the best vacation you’ve ever been on?

A: About five years ago I visited the U.S. from Europe for the first time with my parents and my sister, so that was special. We flew into Las Vegas, and then we drove to the West Coast, where we visited all the national parks and saw San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Q: What is your spirit animal?

A: Mine are not very flattering — I remember looking at people in class with my friends in high school, and just talking about what kind of animal they reminded us of. They decided that I was either a wood-pecker, or worse, a hyena. It’s not good, I’ve seen “The Lion King.”
