Kaylee is inspired by her coaches and teammates on the field, who push her to work hard, stay positive, and never give up.

Their encouragement inspires Kaylee to keep pushing herself, be a great teammate, and always give her best both on and off the field.


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

The moment that makes us most proud is watching Kaylee return to the soccer field after battling a serious staph infection. She went through a difficult and scary time, but never lost her determination to get back to the sport she loves. Seeing her work hard, regain her strength, and step back onto the field showed us just how strong and resilient she truly is. It wasn’t about winning a game or scoring a goal—it was watching her overcome such a big challenge and come back stronger.
