What college or professional athlete inspires you and why?

The athlete that inspires me the most would have to be Mia Hamm because she accomplished so much during her time as a player of the United States women’s national soccer team.

What is one of your more memorable moments as an athlete?

My most memorable moment would be when it had been raining all week and it was super muddy. We did diving headers and wrestled in the mud.

What are your plans after graduating from high school?

My plans after graduating high school are playing soccer at ICC and then transferring to a four-year college.
