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

My daughter loves volleyball for the teamwork, competition, and sense of belonging it gives her. She thrives on the friendships she’s built with teammates and values the mentorship of her coaches, who have shaped her both on and off the court. The game challenges her mentally and physically, but it also brings her joy, confidence, and community. Volleyball isn’t just a sport to her—it’s where she feels her strongest, happiest, and most connected.


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

Hua's grandmother inspires her both on and off the court through her strength, wisdom, and support. A former athlete herself, she models resilience and grace, encouraging my daughter to give her best in every game and in life. Her stories, guidance, and presence motivates my daughter to stay focused, work hard, and believe in herself—just like her grandmother always has.


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

My proudest moment watching my daughter play volleyball isn’t tied to one game—it’s seeing her bounce back stronger after every injury and setback. Through the pain, the “no’s,” and the tough days, she never gives up. Her resilience, determination, and love for the game shine through every time she steps back on the court. She’s shown me what true strength looks like, and that’s what makes me most proud.
