Sports Lessons: I enjoy learning about myself through sports. Sports aren’t only physical they are also mental; when I play I feel a rush when I’m on the court. I love building something with my team; to push each other and help everyone feel positive even when we feel low.

Sports have taught me patience and how to keep going even under pressure because sports push you beyond physical abilities, it tests your mental game and how well you can keep going no matter what. How well you can still pick yourself up, even after mistakes. Sports has helped me step out of my comfort zones. I am more confident than I used to be and mentally tougher. I’m able to learn from my mistakes and keep playing.
