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

The thing I love the most about playing sports is being on a team with others. It really is fun to uplift others and watch them grow while learning things in the middle of a game.

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

My mom inspires me the most because she never quits nor gives up.

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

When I shot over two defenders in the middle of a middle school game. Everybody was cheering me on and I didn’t think I was gonna make it, but I did.
