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

Heaven loves the challenge. She loves flying high on bars, pushing herself to master new skills, and showing what hard work looks like. Gymnastics isn’t just a sport to her — it’s her passion, her discipline, and her joy.


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

Heaven is inspired by her mom & dad who pushes her to chase big dreams and never quit, even when it’s tough. She also looks up to gymnasts like Simone Biles — not just for her talent, but for her strength, confidence, and leadership on and off the mat.


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

One of Heaven’s proudest moments was winning 1st place in the state of Virginia at just 8 years old. That moment proved to her that she belongs at the top. And being moved up to Level 8 at just 9 years old showed that her hard work, focus, and love for the sport are paying off.
