Saceda-Hurt said the first thing he thought of after playing with them was, “It was insane. I felt like I was not conditioned at all. Like, it was mid-season, too, and I just did not feel conditioned, honestly it was really weird because I usually think I’m more conditioned during the season, but it was something else. It is insane how conditioned they are. It’s really something that I need to work for. I can’t take it for granted and just sit on my butt all summer…The coach said that with my size I would have to be the point guard and handle the ball a lot. So working on that and just being physically stronger and mentally tough for the next level is going to be my challenge…They are really defensive-oriented and lead their division in defensive stops so I will definitely have t o country wise email marketing list work on that.”

Saceda-Hurt plans to pursue a major in kinesiology.

“I feel like all athletes are kind of drawn towards the study of the body,” he said. “But ever since high school I’ve kind of just always been interested in science so learning about the body was just something I was always interested in.”

While Pedrin Saceda-Hurt hasn’t suited up for the Norse yet, he is assured of having at least one college rival who will be on an opposing bench, sister Maxie Saceda-Hurt, a 2018 graduate of now-defunct Thunder Mountain High School who is an athletic trainer for the red-and-gold clad Simpson College Storm in Indianola, Iowa.

“It helps that my sister has studied kinesiology,” Pedrin Saceda-Hurt said. “She studied it and said it is a lot of hard work and jokingly said not to do it, but I’m not going to listen to her (laughs). I’m her brother, she’ll help.”

Maxie Saceda-Hurt played softball for the Storm while majoring in health and exercise science, with minors in psychology and biology. She then attended the University of Northern Iowa to finish graduate school, earning a master of athletic training and rehabilitation degree and is currently an athletic trainer for Athletico, with outreach to Simpson. The Storm compete in the same conference as the Norse.
