“I think coaches and parents should teach their kids how to show good sportsmanship to all that are playing. This would make everybody feel good while they are playing. I want kids to have fun, play the game, and support each other. I also would like for people in the crowd to appreciate the players because they are playing hard and doing their best.”

“Eventually my parents will actually get a divorce but I don’t think that will change my life much. They are already divorced, it’s just not ‘official.’ I am made of tougher stuff than what my parents throw at me. If I am broken it will be my own doing. I am the only one strong enough to break my spirit and I love unconditionally, which will cause me to be hurt. Hurt but not broken.”
