What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

I love being able to have fun while doing something I love. Learning how to become a better player and person while meeting new people. I feel like having the responsibility to be there for my teammates helps me grow & hopefully become a good person/leader. God has blessed me with health & I don’t take that for granted.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My parents both use to play sports, but my dad moved here from the Dominican Republic with no family here & they take me every year to visit my family in the DR. Seeing how my dad grew up, hard work & discipline is the only way to survive & be able to earn anything there. Nothing is handed to you. God has given me the opportunity to live a different life than he had to live. & I do this for him & my family rooting for me in the DR. His sacrifice of leaving his family behind motivates me everyday


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Her team has fallen apart recently with girls going to different teams, or trying different sports or just choosing to leave due to not winning. Her team is currently at only 5 players & she keeps going out there & playing hard regardless of what the outcome is & chooses to motivate the current girls to not give up on their team. Although she’s been asked to join other teams, she doesn’t even think about leaving her team but chooses to continue to try and be a leader with the girls she has.
