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

What she loves most about gymnastics is the challenge, the excitement, and the feeling of accomplishment that comes from working hard toward a goal. She loves learning new skills, pushing herself when something feels difficult, and seeing her hard work pay off at competitions. She also loves being part of a team, supporting her teammates, and celebrating each other’s successes. Gymnastics has taught her confidence, perseverance, and how rewarding it is to never give up.

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

She is inspired by her coaches, teammates, family, and other gymnasts who have worked hard to reach their goals. Her coaches inspire her to keep pushing herself and believe in what she can accomplish. Her teammates inspire her through their dedication and encouragement. Most of all, she is inspired by the people who remind her that success isn’t about being perfect—it’s about working hard, learning from challenges, and never giving up.

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

One moment that makes me especially proud is when she finally achieved a skill she had worked on for a long time and then had the confidence to compete it. Seeing her overcome the fear and frustration, trust herself, and perform the skill successfully showed how much she has grown. It wasn’t just about the skill itself—it showed her determination, courage, and willingness to keep working even when something didn’t come easily.
