Finley and Samantha Krystkowiak, Amanda and Caitlin Prior carry some of their parents’ best traits
Around that time, Mark Prior was nearing the end of his professional pitching career after five seasons with the Chicago Cubs.“Knowing who he was made me realize it wasn’t normal, that it was really cool and special what he does,” said Amanda, who plays volleyball alongside her sister Caitlin at Our Lady of Peace.
“Now I realize those are super big and known people. I need to realize I have them in my life, and I need to be thankful for that. I don’t really think of my dad as playing in the NBA. He’s just my dad. It’s kind of surreal almost.” Two weekends ago, Finley Krystowiak took her official visit to volleyball powerhouse Penn State. It further cemented her decision to play for the Nittany Lions.
“Now I’m into this sport. It’s unbelievable and you can see why they would kind of navigate toward it.”“I wouldn’t say I feel pressure from him in the least. Obviously, he was a professional athlete, and at the same time, he went through the same things that I went through,” she said. “I just look at him as he’s there to help me and we’re going to go through this together. He definitely helps me with my mental side and my physical side, or just going through the same path together.
