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

I love the thrill of competition, the constant challenge to improve, and the strong sense of community sports bring. Whether it's the focus and precision of archery or the fast-paced teamwork in volleyball, I thrive on pushing my limits. I finds joy in growing with my teammates, learning from every game, and inspiring others. Sports give me purpose, confidence, and the drive to make a difference in the lives of youth who share my passion.

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

My biggest inspiration is my mom. She’s been there for every practice, tournament, and tough moment, always cheering me on. Her strength, dedication, and belief in me never waver, no matter how challenging things get. She’s shown me what it means to work hard, stay humble, and lead with heart. I play with passion because of her, and I hope to inspire others the way she’s inspired me on and off the field.

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

One moment that made me the proudest was watching Katie push through long days, late nights, and even tears never once giving up. She works so hard to be her personal best, not for recognition, but because she truly loves what she does. She supports and encourages others, leads by example, and follows her passion with heart and determination. Seeing her grow into that kind of athlete and person fills me with pride every every single day.
