Speaking to the school paper, Holzhauer offered some tips for young fans who may feel discouraged about following in his footsteps.
“I was an undisciplined student, but I set a goal for ‘Jeopardy!’ and really focused on achieving it,” he said. “No one has ever played ‘Jeopardy!’ like I do, but I didn’t let that stop me from approaching the game the way I thought I should.”
