What did you learn or do in GPS that helped you in other areas that may not have even been related to sports?
It helped me so much in my college badminton club because now there are people who are older than me who don’t know how to play and I am able to use the skills i learned with the girls to teach older adults. I have learned how to be good at a sport but also be approachable and not intimidating to those who are still learning. Maia Robinson
