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

The thing I love most about lacrosse is that it has had a huge impact in my life on and off the field. It's taught me how to be a team player. We work together and do our best.. we practice hard and we play hard..

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

My teammates inspire me so much. I wouldn't be the player I am today with out them. My dad also inspires me to always do my best and never give up..

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

How they show up for each other and support each other, win or loose they keep a good attitude and show good sportsmanship.
