Receive Text UpdatesWhat I love most about playing sports is how it challenges me to grow — physically, mentally, and emotionally. It teaches discipline, teamwork, and resilience. I love the thrill of competition, the bond with teammates, and the pride that comes from giving my best and improving every day.
My coach inspires me both on and off the field. He’s taught me that success comes from putting in the work—even when I’m not feeling motivated. His example reminds me to stay disciplined, chase what I love, and never give up on my goals.
One of the proudest moments in my child’s athletic journey was pushing through a difficult season filled with challenges—personal setbacks, and moments of doubt. Instead of giving up, I showed up every day even when it was tough, stayed committed, and worked even harder. That perseverance paid off when they earned a starting spot and helped lead their team to a big win. It was a powerful reminder that real growth often comes through adversity.
