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

Excellent Athletes Use The Stage, The Field, The Equipment, The Pool, The Track, Etc., To Communicate With The Audience And Others. They Express Who They Are And How They Feel By Showing Others How They Perform. These Performances Reach Deep To The Audience, Allowing Athletes To Communicate With The Audience, And Vice Versa. There Is Always A Conversation Going On Between The Audience And The Athletes That Contains Excitement, Feelings, Nerves, And Overall Proud Astonishment Indeed.

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

Maddy Lives To Flip And Fly High, Just Like Other Accomplished Athletes In Her Chosen Verticals. These Athletes, Just Like Maddy, Are Big Into Their Faith And Their Church. Maddy Has Attended Mclean Bible Church Awana Bible School Since Early Pre-School, And Loves Sharing Her Sport Accomplishments With Her Bible School Class. They Always Love To Hear About Her Placings, And See Her Photos. They Always Pray For Her Before Any And All Meets And Competitions.

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

Maddy Loves The Spotlight. Loves. Over Eighteen Dance Recitals, Over Sixty Gymnastics Meets, And Over Forty All-Star Cheer Competitions, All Before Age Eleven Could Be A Lot Of Stress For Any Child. Maddy Looks At It As An Opportunity That She Was Blessed With. She Knows Not All Other Children Were Or Are. She Tells Me That It Is Her Duty In Life To Entertain And Feel That Audience. She Did Just That This Year At The VA State Gymnastics Meet When She Took First Place With A 9.925.
