Coach Laura’s Take:
“When Lilly started, I knew she had so much potential. She let me know she had done Tae Kwon Do when she was younger and it was evident that she moved well. It has been so encouraging to watch her develop as an athlete over the past year. She used to be a little unsure of her abilities, but now I think she sees how strong and capable she is and is really motivated to improve! Y’all. This girl STRONG! I’m excited to see where her numbers go and how her skills progress in the coming years. Her brother JC better keep his foot on the gas so he doesn’t get caught by little sis.”
