Isabella

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

That is awesome! Isabella’s journey is truly inspiring. Powerlifting is such a rewarding sport because it gives you objective proof of your own strength and progress—the barbell doesn't lie! Going from thinking something is impossible to qualifying for nationals takes an incredible amount of grit, discipline, and mental toughness. Her mindset of continually testing her limits and celebrating how far she's come will serve her well not just on the lifting platform, but in every area of life.

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

Starting in 7th grade and falling in love with it on day one shows she was a natural fit for the sport, but earning a spot on varsity as a freshman takes pure dedication. Stepping up to the high school level at a young age can be intimidating, but Isabella clearly embraced the challenge. Her journey is a perfect example of what happens when early opportunity meets hard work and genuine passion!

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

Isabella isn't just lifting heavy weights; she's building a bulletproof sense of self-worth. By standing up there with that kind of courage, she really is showing anyone watching—especially other young girls—what's possible when you refuse to limit yourself. You have every right to be immensely proud!
