the teammate
I COMPETE HARD, STAY COMPOSED, AND PLAY FOR THE TEAM.
Sports have taught me that being a good teammate is about more than what happens when I have the ball. I try to stay composed, communicate, keep working, and support the people around me—whether I am on the field, on the court, or waiting for my turn to compete.

the midfield anchor
Midfield keeps me involved in every part of the game. I often play almost every minute, helping on defense, moving the ball forward, and communicating with teammates.
My coach described my two-way play as “indispensable to the team’s success.” What matters most to me is being someone my teammates can rely on from the first whistle to the last.

STAYING UNTIL THE LAST MATCH
Tennis taught me that being part of a team does not end when my own match is over. I try to stay courtside and support my teammates until the last match finishes. Sometimes being a good teammate simply means being there.

LEARING TO BE COACHABLE
Basketball has taught me to listen closely, accept feedback, and keep working when something is not going well. I have learned that being coachable means taking what I hear and trying to make the next play better.
what sports taught me
show up. listen. keep going.
Sports have taught me that I do not have to be the person scoring to contribute. Sometimes I need to communicate, sometimes I need to listen, and sometimes I just need to keep working. I want to be the kind of teammate who stays engaged and makes the people around me better.
