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

The adrenaline, the on your toes, fast pace team sport. The friendships and the sisterhood that it creates. The constant evolving players. The new experiences and places to visit when playing.


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

Family, friends, and coaches. Each of these individuals are always pushing me to be my better self. I take each suggestion to heart and use it to empower myself to be better. They all push for me to not only be a better athlete but also a better human being.


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

The moment that stands out from all the other moments is the moment she mentally told herself she could do this. She found it in herself that she could compete at the next level and set her mind to working towards it. The months after were full of growth and strength. Changes had to be made and not all those changes were easy. Some changes were mentally and emotionally challenging. In that moment we saw a young softball loving teen change her mindset into a determined softball hungry athlete.
