“When I think of what sports mean to me, I think of the team aspect. Having a good relationship with your teammates and coaches is so important when it comes to being on a team. I love sports because it lets me get my mind off things like school, which can sometimes stress me out. I don’t have to focus on an upcoming test when I’m playing sports. I can focus on getting better at my sport and working on other skills. I consider it therapeutic. It calms me down yet riles me up at the same time. Every time I play volleyball I get so excited because I know I get to improve on something.”
