'' BADGERS Ask The Question of the Week: Which athlete did you idolize growing up? JOSH GASSER • SOPHOMORE • MEN'S BASKETBALL "Growing up, I definitely idolized Brett Favre more than anyone. I am a huge Packers fan and always being the quarterback as a kid made me want to be like him. His competitiveness, leadership and toughness were great to learn from, and he was by far the most fun athlete to watch." ANGELA CHUPA • SENIOR • WOMEN'S TENNIS "Growing up, I idolized Serena Williams. She has impeccable motivation and mental toughness, and she doesn't let anything stand in her way. Losing is not an option for her, and I admire that. She is the ultimate competitor." BEN JORDAN • JUNIOR • WRESTLING "My dad and uncle, Jim [a two-time NCAA champion, three-time All-Amer- ican and school record holder with 156 career wins at Wisconsin] and Jeff Jordan [two-time All-American at Wisconsin]. They were my role models on and off the mat and still are." ELLIE ARKIN • SENIOR • WOMEN'S GOLF "I looked up to Tiger Woods because he was (and still kind of is) so talented, passionate, and energetic. I remember wearing my Tiger Woods shirts to junior golf and feeling confident because of them."
