Dear Teammates, 

I want to thank you for making practice and games a better experience. Playing a sport and meeting new people is the best part of the whole thing. Teammates are like having siblings; even though you might only play with them for a little while, the bond you make lasts for a lifetime. The friendships you can form with your teammates are truly special. We celebrate the wins and losses and stand by each other’s side throughout it all. Every practice, every game, no matter the outcome, we always have each other’s back. 

Thank you for being there through the tough days and the good days. Teammates will see you at your worst and still believe in you. I will never forget the moments when we would make jokes and laugh the whole time while warming up. You guys cheered the loudest that I didn’t notice who wasn’t cheering. Even though we met through a sport, I’m thankful for more than that. I’m thankful for your energy, your ability to cheer me up when I get down, and your friendship. 

Throughout all of our ups and downs, I’m glad I still get to go to practice and games and still see you guys. Teammates will always encourage me to do better for the team and myself. All the fun memories and lessons we have had together. From the first practice of the season to the last game of the season. We stuck together through thick and thin. Thank you for everything you have done for me. 

Sincerely,

Kaelynn Rodriguez
