Beyond the Bio: Christian Kiselica
8/24/2020 12:57:00 PM | Women's Volleyball, My GW: Celebrating our Stories
Welcome back to Beyond the Bio, where we'll get to know more about the people behind the scenes at GW Athletics.
Â
In this edition, we learn about Christian Kiselica, who is entering his first year with the Buff & Blue as an assistant coach for the volleyball team.
Â
When I'm not working, my favorite thing to do is?
Pretty much anything active and outdoorsy. I'm definitely an adrenaline junkie. I love to rock climb, hike and camp. I'm also a surfer and have always been drawn to the ocean. When I'm relaxing, I like to cuddle my two dogs and watch documentaries.
Â
If I was an animal, I would be?Â
Either a dolphin or a Peregrine falcon. I'd love to be able to ride waves and explore the ocean like a dolphin, but being able to cliff dive 200 mph like a Peregrine falcon sounds exhilarating.
If I could only eat one meal for every meal for the rest of my life, it would be?
Pizza or Smoothies. I have 2-3 smoothies a day, but I never turn down a slice.
Â
My favorite place I've ever been is?Â
Ireland. It's incredibly beautiful and the people are so friendly!
Â
If I could have coffee with anybody in the world, living or historical, he/she would be?
I'd love to be able to sit with my late Grammie one last time for some evening coffee and dessert after a big Italian family dinner.
Â
The one job in GW Athletics I'd like to do for a day is?Â
Not necessarily a job, but I would love to know what it feels like to have John Square's energy and woo for a day!
Â
The person I'm most inspired by is?Â
My parents. My dad for his leadership and his charisma. My mom for her consistent work ethic and her affectionate nature.
Â
My favorite book, movie, TV show or podcast is?
Book: Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins
Podcast: Finding Mastery with Dr. Michael GervaisÂ
TV Show: Peaky Blinders
Movie: The Cave
Â
My top #OnlyAtGWÂ moment was?
Most of my job so far has been during quarantine. After months of Zoom calls, seeing our athletes in person was really special to me.Â
Â
If I could be granted the gift of elite athleticism, I'd like to be able to?Â
Free solo rock climb. I'm very intrigued by the mental fortitude it takes.
