Who most influenced your athletic career and why?
My Grandpa and my Dad, they both have always been there to encourage me, help me stay positive, and believe that I can always succeed. They both sacrificed a lot of time and money to get me where I needed to go, and paid for all my equipment and lessons that have helped me get to where I am today. Although my grandpa passed away when I was a freshman in high school, I continue to work hard and play every game for him, because I know how much he loved to watch me play.
