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

Amelia, love the competitiveness of basketball and softball. Also loves being with her friends and the supports of the parents and fans.


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

Mom , Dad, family, and coaches. Amelia’s inspiration comes for these certain people because how hard she works to get better. She was told when she was diagnosed deaf she can’t play a sport. But Mom, Dad ,and the family believed. Which what inspires her to keep fighting the doubters that don’t believe in her.


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

Amelia Kerestes is a deaf. She was told by a doctor they recommend her not to play sports. It’s hard to say proudest in her circumstances. I say putting on the jersey everyday with a smile and keep proving the doubters wrong. She has been a great 2nd baseman and she has made awesome double plays. Hitting she doing great at. But over all proudest moment is her putting the jersey on and fighting for the team.
