Development Assistance MySQL help

Hello, why does this prints the column 3 times??:

Code:

public static String getRank(Player p){
        openConnection();
         try{                 
                 PreparedStatement sql = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT rank FROM `player_rank` WHERE player=?;");
                
                 sql.setString(1, p.getName());
                 ResultSet result = sql.executeQuery();
                 result.next();
                 rank = result.getString("rank");   
                 Bukkit.broadcastMessage(rank);
                 sql.close();
                 result.close();
         }catch(Exception e1){
            e1.printStackTrace();
         }finally{
            closeConnection();
         }
        return rank;

    }

 

Because you call this method 3 times I guess?

 

@quinster08 I gotta say, this kinda defeats the purpose of a prepared statement. The idea is to use one statement a lot instead of rewriting it many times.
