Sport: Sand volleyball
Nickname: Natural Nate, that's my wrestling name
Favorite part of sand volleyball: I like diving. I like strecthing out for balls. It's just intense, a good workout. It's everything
Least favorite part: Getting all the sand off you. It's dirty and nasty and your shower gets all gross, and the bugs
Sport you'd like to try: I'd say golf. Everybody says it's so much fun, but it's extremely boring when I watch it
Any embarrassing moments on the court: Just a couple of times I've eaten some sand. I've eaten some bugs
If you could trade places with any athlete, who would it be: Floyd Mayweather Jr., because to watch him box and watch him move, he's just a phenominal athlete
