I always wanted to be a Ball Hawk! The first time I tried out, Coach Mike Somers said to keep working and come back, and that I did. I spent a year getting better and learning more about the game. I came back and made the 16u team, continued to work hard, and eventually, I reached my goal of being on a Ball Hawk 18u team. Being a Ball Hawk means working hard (even when you're not asked to), being a friend (to teammates and coaches), and playing every game like it's your last. Being a Ball Hawk was the BEST decision I've ever made.
