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

Sarah enjoys the thrill of grinding in practice to get better each day with or without her teammates. After church on Sundays, she is consistently asking for extra agility work for soccer, pitching lessons, or extra skill work at the basketball court. Although she doesn’t like losing, she loves the grind of practice more than the reward of winning games! She prepares better than most of the older athletes we have seen.


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

As military kid, she understands that her hard work leads to her winning in life. Her spiritual, academic, and athletic journey is autonomous, needing no extra motivation from her parents. After losing the 2025 8U Softball Championship Game, her tears were inconsolable even after her father reminded her of everything she had already accomplished that year. However, she couldn’t imagine being content or complacent with the successes of her past. She is only driven by her internal will to compete.


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

We are most proud of her 24-25 school year athletic resume to include: Fall 2024 - U10 Soccer - Broken record for most saves a goalie in one game (17); Fall 2024 - 10U Volleyball City Champion; Winter 2025 - 8U Basketball City Champion; Winter 2025 - 8U Basketball Fierce Defender Award Winner; Spring 2025 - U10 Soccer Golden Glove Award Winner (Most saves on the season); Spring 2025 - U10 Soccer Golden Boot Award Winner (Most goals scored on the season); Spring 2025 - 8U Softball City Finalist
