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

They said “ The thing I love the most about my sports is that it helps me grow as a person by teaching me discipline. Whether it’s waking up early to jump in the pool, throwing my body to keep that volleyball from hitting the ground, or running down the field as fast as I can, even when my body tells me to stop. That’s what the love I have for the sport.”


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

They said “ My friends inspire me on the field as they congratulate me when I win the ball and comfort me when I don’t. Seeing my parents spectate me while I’m on the block does make me content but seeing my friends at the of the pool cheering me on, that is what gives me real motivation.


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

My son and his team won the Long Island Cup and he truly played his hardest pushing himself to the limits for his team seeing that level of determination made me proud.
