Becca challenging herself in a new way was as normal as the sun rising each morning. As Becca told ESPN, nothing could stand in the way of her dreams, her willpower and unstoppable drive to succeed was unmatched. “I think it’s just something inside of me. I don’t always have to prove myself — but I always want to.” This exact unbreakable mindset is what will propel Becca to follow her dream.
