What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreMaliyah loves the joy, competition, teamwork, and friendships that come with playing sports. 🏐🏀🥎 She loves pushing herself to become better, encouraging her teammates, and being part of something bigger than herself. Most of all, she loves inspiring others while being inspired by the athletes who came before her. Sports give her a place to shine, lead, grow, and give everything she has.
Maliyah is inspired by her family, teammates, coaches, and the athletes who came before her. ❤️ She is especially inspired by those who overcome challenges with strength, faith, and determination. They remind her to keep pushing, lead with kindness, and never give up. She hopes to inspire others the same way by showing that with faith, hard work, and perseverance, anything is possible. 🙏🏽🏆🌟
The moment that makes me proudest is watching Maliyah continue to show up and lead her team, even through injuries, challenges, and responsibilities at home. She never lets adversity take away her kindness, determination, or faith. Seeing her encourage her teammates, push through tough moments, and keep giving her best reminds me that her greatest victory isn’t just on the scoreboard it’s the person she is becoming. ❤️🏆🙏🏽
