Who is your hero and why? I have multiple heroes. First, my mom and my dad are my heroes. They have shown me truly what it means to work towards a goal and how to live a happy life. They have sacrificed a lot of time for me to play softball throughout my life and I could not thank them enough. Second, my hero would be my hitting coach Alissa Haber. Ever since I was in my teenage years I watched her play on the Stanford Softball Team and Team USA. She has taught me so much from how to work through adversity to my mental game to becoming a good person/teammate overall.
