“I played four sports last year and I played three sports this year, not including the sports I play outside of school. Last year I played basketball, softball, volleyball and soccer, and this year I played soccer, softball and volleyball. Athletics in general are important to me because of the feeling you get when you play sports and you do something right and you hear everybody cheering your name. Or you hear someone saying to you, “Oh my gosh, great game!” or, “That was amazing! I’ve never seen anyone your age do that.” To have someone compare you to someone higher up on your skill set, it gives you a rush and a confidence boost in every way. You can’t be shy about it. You know you have to be good at something. It drives you.”
