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

I love racing, the crowd cheering, the horn blast, the silence as I dive in the water and beat my time. I love competing with my Surge team, celebrating and pushing each other. I do not love 6am wake up but I love feeling stronger as a result. I love my Nationals soccer team, when we click and become a force. My coaches, who play us against hard teams because they believe in us. I love improving footwork, learning new ways of beating my opponent and feeling pride when I do it in a game & score


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

Michael Phelps inspires me. He said "its not always the best, its the ones that never give up that win." I am not always the fastest, strongest or have the best shot. But I will always push myself to get better and reach my goals. My parents, who support and guide me to reach my goals. Coach Rod, Sault Surge (Canada Games double gold medalist and 2 time Olympic Trials Qualifier) and Coach Chris, Nationals North (OUA Athlete) who are both so talented and believe in me that I can achieve any goal


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

Liam has always pushed himself to try new things. When I ask "want to go for a 5k run?" he says "sure Mom" and grabs his shoes. I love how he puts his mind to something and he does it, no matter the sport or activity. The goals and medals make me happy for him. However, it's Liam's compassion and empathy for others that make me proudest. He cares for others when they are hurt (physically and emotionally) and puts them first, even if it means self sacrifice.
