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

The things I love most about playing basketball are the skills and moves I learn. Playing with my team and the friendships I have built with others. Basketball is not an I sport and even though you get to have some moments like making a basket, you show true skills and ability when you are working with others for the same goal.

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

My family and coaches inspire me most because they want what's best for me and want me to follow my dreams and do what I love.

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

One of the proudest moments is going undefeated in my Freshman year and being asked to play in a Varsity game the same year.
