“I’ve gained a lot of discipline and friends from doing four sports. It’s kind of hard to balance everything, but I’ve gained enough discipline to deal with it. Some of my best friends came from softball teams or dance teams, and even though I don’t compete with some of them anymore, we stay in touch. The sports have shaped my character by making me more coachable, more humble, and more driven to get things done. you have to be coachable in order to do that many sports and to make coaches like you. Sometimes you have bad games, meets, or competitions and you need to learn to deal with it, because it’s just part of it. Overall sports have really changed my life and my character.”
