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

“My parents! My coaches have been instrumental in my development and success; my mother being my first coach for multiple sports. Additionally, my dad’s instruction has also helped to build the foundation I have now. My recent club coaches have also been instrumental in my development.” - Jennifer Wheat


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

Jennifer’s dedication to preserve through all adversity is inspiring! We’re a military family and we’ve moved a lot, but she hasn’t let that stop her. She has been an inspiration to her family, friends, teammates, and others as she has continues to strive for success. She gives 200% in everything she does and it shows. One moment that makes me the proudest is the time that her team was loosing in a set, she rotated in, pumped up her teammates and they came back to win. It was awesome!
