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

Kate loves the competition and the camaraderie on the court. She goes hard and battles for every point, and after the game will be the leader to tell congratulate the other team for a good game. Her favorite part of the game is defense. She will defend hard and louder than anyone else.


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

Kate Martin because she is not the flashiest player, but she does the little things by playing hard defense and knocking down shots when her team needs her most.


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

Her character and mental toughness when recovering from her injury. She was the loudest cheerleader for her teammates and always willing to do anything she could to help them be successful. She did this while not being allowed to physically participate in the thing she loves the most. She put others first while on the court, and continued to better herself so that she could come back stronger for them.
