Being a part of the Westlake Basketball Girls program has been such an honor. I have obtained so many great qualities. From teamwork and collaboration, to determination and confidence. Having such amazing coaches was such a blessing. Coach Nick has taught us so much both on the court and off and so many memories have been made throughout my 7 YEARS of playing for him. But also Coach Burt, as he is such a knowledgable and amazing person to look up to as a role model. As the team captain the season 2012-2013, I learned how to be a leader. Having to create team bonding activities outside of the school and basketball atmosphere. I really learned a lot about organizing large groups of people and finding the strengths and weaknesses within a group of people and using them to the fullest. Through utalizing the traits we have, we were able to be a successful basketball team. Throughout my personal career I have won 2 state titles. In 2012 and 2014. The feeling after winning these titles is something I will never forget! It is amazing to work so hard towards something, and then it finally paying off. But it is more about winning. It is about the friendships I have gained and the lessons I have learned through playing a sport and having a large leadership position on my team!
