4. What has being a student-athlete taught you? Time management is very important. 5. Favorite moment as a high school athlete? Scoring my 1,000 point 6. A coach/mentor that has inspired you and why? My dad, who is an assistant coach. I chose him because he’s always pushing me to be the best I can be. Everything I know is from him and ever since I was little I’ve always wanted to achieve big things just like my dad. He not only supports me but pushes me in ways others can’t. He’s always been there for me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. If you are interested in sponsoring an Athlete of the Month, click here!
