Sports Lessons: I enjoy watching and being a part of underclassmen’s growth. Especially as a senior watching the underclassmen step into their character, being a part of this and creating these connections and bonds is what will forever be remembered to me and is what makes sports and being an athlete enjoyable. Being an athlete taught me how to persevere, control my emotions and become a leader. During my time as an athlete I have experienced many ups and downs, which has shown me both sides of the picture. To push through, work hard, and chase the top. But to also be humble, and lead by example.
