Addyson Watts Swimming
A: Yes, when a club coach told me I wouldn’t be good enough to play on a team because I was “playing on a team like Ritenour,” I became dedicated to the sport. This has taken a toll on me because everyone around me is already a step ahead of me, when I am just getting started. Though I worked hard, I was able to make a club team, commit to a college, and even serve as a two-year varsity captain as an outcome of all this.
