Sara Park '19 has shown much determination this semester to improve her technique, her skill set, and her focus. Despite some tough games this season, Park '19 has played with intelligence and strength, not once losing her nerve or concentration. When she lost to a more experienced player from East Hartford, she came back stronger, learning from her opponent and herself. She is a positive role model for the rest of the Badminton team and she brings a great energy to every practice.
Amelia Zhao '19 has been a persistent and hardworking member of the team for four years now. Now, as a captain, her intrinsic drive provides motivation and encouragement to her fellow teammates. She is always ready to do one more hill, lead us all in a sun salutation at the end of practice, or to do an extra workout after a tough workout in the rain. Her team looks up to her and she is an inspiration to us all.
Congratulations to this week's athletes of the week, Sara Park '19 and Amelia Zhao '19.
