Tessa loves the rush of the game — the sprinting, the strategy, and the thrill of pulling that flag. But most of all, she loves being part of a team that feels like family, where everyone has each other’s back and every win is shared.
Her coaches inspire her by believing in her even when she doubts herself. They push her to be tougher, smarter, and more confident — not just on the field, but in life. Their encouragement, energy, and dedication make her want to show up, work hard, and be her best every single day.
Tessa accepts a loss with grace and grit. She takes a deep breath, learns from her mistakes, and uses it as fuel to get better. And no matter the score, she’s the first to lift her teammates up — reminding them they played with heart, that they’re in it together, and that the next game is a new chance to shine.
