Our Wildwood, Winter 2018, Volume 42

EVERETT: Wildwood’s athletic experience was about so much more than just wins and losses. At Wildwood, participating in sports helped me understand the value of hard work, teamwork, and even sometimes the value of losing. Losses were disappointing, but because of the strong community in the athletic department, losses often brought our teams and classmates closer together. Instead of being disappointed in the loss, we used the experience to learn what we could do better in the future. MOREAU: I hope I can play basketball in college. I want to have the same connection with new girls on a new team. I am very excited to continue playing and learning and growing as a student-athlete. EVERETT: Though the loss of my competitive basketball life will be daunting, I look forward to exploring new passions. As of now, I’ll be working as a coach and media manager for a pro basketball company called Pure Sweat Basketball. The company works to prepare players for the NBA draft, as well as develop the skills of players already in. MOREAU: Don’t take any year, day, minute, or second with your team for granted. Love all your teammates unconditionally, and support one another in every way you can. EVERETT: Embrace the camaraderie. Most of my best friends are my teammates, and most of my greatest memories have been on teams where everyone feels like family. Winning or losing matters but isn’t the be-all and end-all. As long as you are out there with your friends, things are good. WW WW: What are you most excited about for the future? WW: What advice would you give to current and future Wildwood athletes?
