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

Interaction with kids her own age that are from different schools. She is the only girl on our block so it gives her an opportunity to meet new people and also learn from them.


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

Stephan Curry is her sports hero! She has been hitting 3 pointers since age 7 and she said it was because she watched him and learned from him. Also her coaches Phil and Jeremy inspire her to do her best. When she is down they know how to pick her up with love and encouragement.


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

There are a few but the one that stands out the most is I put her in a Thunder Camp. There was a young boy in a wheelchair - she took him under her wing. She made sure he was included in all the skills and drills everyone was learning. She earned the compassion award that day. Also when she hit her first 3 pointer - her first home run - threw her first touchdown. So many but her receiving that award was far the best thing ever.
