For as long as I've known her, Kat and basketball always belonged in the same sentence. As a grade 8 on the senior team and a Team BC member, she was well-recognized for her talents and hard work in basketball. However once she stopped playing, she says it felt like a big part of her was suddenly missing. We talk about how she first got introduced to basketball and what motivated her to train so hard. She reminisced on her training, what it was like at tryouts and practices and her favourite things about the sport. From there though she talks about how she found a sense of belonging within her business club and how her competitive nature has helped her. She talks about how she was able to apply certain mindsets that she learned from basketball to overcome obstacles within business. She also explains the other side of things where she learned how to be more vulnerable and really assess her values. She describes how her views have changed and the way others have had an impact on her.
