Day 1 (Shared by Kimmie Palace): I choose the team as the people that drive me to be better every day. We all come from different states, experiences, and have different playing styles, but at the end of the day we all mend together, creating an amazing team. @USMMA_Athletics

Day 1 (Shared by Senior Kiana Vega): My parents have been the biggest support system. They have coached, mentored, critiqued, motivated, and loved me. Growing up with them helped to understand what it means to do something with a full sense of pride and heart.@USMMA_Athletics

Day 1 (Shared by McKenzie Cassingham @mckenziecassingham ): The person that inspires me in bball is Debbie Black. She was only 5'3 but didn't let her height dictate her game. She inspired me to play the way she does and it changed my game for the better. @USMMA_Athletics

Day 1 (Shared by Jalen Douglas @jdstreetballer42): My mother inspires me the most. I've watched her overcome trial after trial. Any adversity in her path, she faced them head on. She inspires me to do the same and work my hardest no matter what hardships I face. @usmmaathletics

Day 1 (Shared by Gabby Eitkis @gabby_eitkis): My mom, Irina, inspires me to be my true self. After immigrating from Ukraine, she had to learn English and go through business school and other jobs to get to where she is today. She always puts everyone else first. @USMMA_Athletics

Day 1 (Shared By Bryanne Buchanan-Cummings): Kobe, you inspired and touched the lives of millions. Your involvement in many facets of life has shown me the importance of not allowing myself to be defined by a single aspect of my life. Thank you. @usmmaathletics #NCAAInclusion
