“As a student athlete, especially at a Big Ten school like U of M, it’s really nice to see other student athletes on campus. You start to notice the student-athlete backpacks, hats, and shoes, and realize we’re all part of something.

On @UmichAdaptiveSports teams, it’s great to meet more people with similar experiences and backgrounds. It’s really hard to find people who share that common ground with you.

At the end of every practice, @CoachJessicaWynne has this tradition where she says, ‘Take care of your mental health, your physical health, your spiritual health, and your emotional health.’ Then she adds, ‘Forgive somebody if you haven’t. If you don’t know who to forgive, forgive yourself.’ I’ve applied those words to my own life, on and off the court.”
