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

She loves the challenge of pushing herself and seeing how much she can improve. She loves competing, being part of a team, and accomplishing goals she once thought were out of reach. For her, sports are about more than winning, they’ve taught her confidence, discipline, resilience, and how rewarding it feels to work hard for something she truly wants.

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

Her biggest inspiration comes from the people who believe in her and push her to become better. She looks up to athletes who show that success doesn’t happen overnight, it takes discipline, sacrifice, and the courage to keep going when things get hard. She wants to be that same kind of example for younger athletes and show them that believing in yourself and putting in the work can take you farther than you imagined.

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

Watching her qualify for and compete at the Junior Olympics made me incredibly proud. I’ve watched her grow from a young girl learning the sport into an athlete competing on a national stage. It wasn’t just about making Nationals; it was every practice, setback, PR, and moment she wanted to give up but kept going. Seeing her step onto that track knowing how hard she worked to get there was a moment I’ll never forget.
