Coria was a bright spot for the Cardinals last year dominating on the offense line. He\u2019s looking for a bounce back year for the team under new head coach Daniel Fierro.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Q: What\u2019s up kid, how\u2019s it going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: I\u2019m doing good Mr. Hernandez. I\u2019m just staying on the grind. I\u2019m excited to answer these questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: How are you feeling heading into the season with your new head coach?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: I feel very confident under Coach Fierro&#8217;s scheme and leadership as well with his whole coaching staff. They have been developing our team to make us become the best we can be.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: What are some expectations you have for your team and yourself this upcoming season?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A:\u00a0My expectations are to make the playoffs and a have a run. For myself I want to make first team and win Offensive Linemen of the Year and bring home a championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: Who do you model your game after?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: I model my game after Trent Williams. His aggression and passion for the game is something I look up to.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: How would your teammates and coaches describe you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: They would describe me as leader in the weight room and on the field as well as a hard worker. I would say some of the linemen look up to me and learn from me.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q:&nbsp;Every athlete has a routine. What does your game day look like from the moment you wake up until you step onto the field?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: I wake up and do the usual &#8211; shower brush my teeth and get ready for school. The moment I get to school I\u2019m plugged in doing my work and I listen to music pretty much the whole day. I talk to my guys watch film and stay locked in. When I step on the field I know it\u2019s game time and I need completely focus and I know it\u2019s time to handle businesses and set the tone on the offense.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q:&nbsp;What is the biggest lesson you have learned from football so far?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: The biggest lesson I learned is the person that stops you the most is yourself. You have to believe in yourself to accomplish your achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q:&nbsp;How do you handle the pressure of playing in high-stakes games?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: I handle this by staying calm, watching the film and knowing my assignment, making sure the team knows their assignment. We have to be on the same page to execute.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: What game are you looking forward to the most?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: I look forward to week two against Montebello. I only beat them once my freshman year and they have beat us twice in a row. Now I\u2019m a senior and I want to beat that team down the street from us. We play many teams from last year that I also want our revenge on but week two is the more personal one to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q:&nbsp;Anything else you would like to say or want us to know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: I just want everyone to know we will shock the world. It\u2019s been something we have said since day one &#8211; \u201cShock the world\u201c- and I promise we will.\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cantwell lineman Michael Coria sat down with Big George for a Q&amp;A.
