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

Playing with their teammates and the friendships they build on and off the feild/court.

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

Embers words: Coach Austin, he played in high school and college and now is doing basketball skills and gets to coach basketball teams. That's what I want to do when I get older. My parents, they work hard for us and are always there to cheer me on.

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

Seening her be a leader within the team and her knowledge of the sports. She is always trying to learn more about the sport she is playing and how to better her skills.
