#GetOneGiveOne

"I think the most significant way mentoring benefitted me was in my confidence. By helping a younger female athlete who is experiencing the same things I am as an athlete, and by being a source of guidance, I was reminded of how normal it is to feel everything—ups, downs, in between—as an athlete ... As we have learned, self-confidence is an extraordinary thing. Being a leader gave me purpose, yet reminded me that I am not alone."
