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

Her dad inspires her on and off the court. He always gives his all to make sure she is training enough and even works as her personal trainer.

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

My proudest moment for her was when she made the national team for her basketball club. She worked hard during the off season and I was amazing to see her hard work pay off when making a higher team.
