As I grew up, sports were a good thing. They brought out the competitive side of me and, helped me met new friends. At an early age, I learned that nothing is given to you; you have to work for it. The person that taught me that was my very first coach, Coach Mariah Hanna. She was imparting a humble, confident spirit in me from the age of four and, she didn’t even know.
