Being athletic and smart takes a lot of dedication. I spend many hours each day at hockey rinks, traveling to and from rinks, and spending time with my team. I am very dedicated to become a great hockey player, so every time I hit the ice, I feel in my heart how much I love the sport.

Personally, I am a soccer player and a runner, so when my soccer coaches announced that my school was starting a field hockey team and that they would also be coaching that, I was skeptical as to my abilities in this sport.
