What is Youth Athlete of the Year?

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

What they love most about playing volleyball is the feeling of being part of a team. They love competing, improving their skills, challenging themselves, and celebrating with their teammates. Volleyball has taught them to stay determined, work hard, and never give up, even when things don’t go as planned. Most of all, they love the joy and confidence they feel when they are on the court.


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

The person who inspires them the most is their mom. She inspires them because she works hard, stays strong through challenges, and always encourages them to keep going. Her support reminds them that hard work and determination can help them reach their goals, both on and off the court.


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

One of the moments that makes me proudest is seeing her continue to show up and work hard even when things don’t go the way she hoped. She has faced challenges in volleyball, but instead of giving up, she keeps learning, improving, and pushing herself. Watching her grow stronger, more confident, and more determined through those experiences makes me incredibly proud.
