What is Youth Athlete of the Year?

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

I like the feeling of putting in the work and it translating in practice and games, I think the mental aspect of the game is interesting too, like it’s not all about having to be super physical, but it also requires a higher level of thinking.


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

My family inspires me because I’m always seeing how much they work and do things to support me, so the least I could do is go out onto the field every day and give 100% effort, because it wouldn’t be fair to them if I didn’t.


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

When I finally went out and started playing in high school. I put it off for two years because I was nervous about what might happen to my body and if the people were going to like me, but after I joined my junior year, it has been the most fun I’ve had doing anything and I’d pay to get that feeling again.
