Brooklyn loves being part of a team where everyone is passionate about the sport. Her teammates have become like family, and she enjoys the bond they've formed. She finds joy in helping them and feels a sense of belonging when they support her too. Having fun is a big part of the experience, and she cherishes the memories they've made. Being part of a team that cares about each other has deepened her love for the sport.
Brooklyn's brother in law, Oscar Gomez, and her sister, Jazmin Martinez, are her biggest inspirations. They truly understand her, and their support has a huge impact on her life. Her brother in law's guidance and her sister's encouragement give her the confidence to tackle challenges and celebrate her wins. They believe in her, and that makes all the difference. With them by her side, Brooklyn feels unstoppable, knowing she's got people who genuinely care about her success. Both influence her.
