I enjoy being able to improve myself while also being a part of something greater. I am grateful for all the friendships, memories and places I got to go through sports as well.
Athletics has taught me time management. Balancing sports, school, extracurricular activities, family and free time is something that's become familiar to me. In addition, sports has instilled or developed me to be responsible, respectful, committed, self-disciplined and provide leadership to my team. It also taught me that success does not come without hard work, ambition and being accountable.
