Participating at nationals for the athletes is truly a growth experience not only from a travel perspective but also from the aspect of being a fierce competitor on the field of play and then putting that aside and supporting, cheering on and complimenting a fellow competitor. Learning from others and respecting others and their efforts and abilities to be the best they can be.

I love the event very much because it brings out the best in me and makes me feel stronger and more empowered. I trained hard to get here but I know I could train harder.

It means we are a part of something greater and bigger than ourselves, while still being included in something that affects and encourages all of us individually.

It was a good feeling to be a part of something so big. I liked watching the athletes compete hard. I liked being with my team. I made new friends and I really liked the competition. It took a lot of practice to get there.
