THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN? “Get comfortable with being uncomfortable” – Steve Simmons. As a freshman, I knew I would need to step outside of my comfort zone and try new things. Coach Simmons taught me to expect and accept mistakes, and not to be embarrassed by them, but to view them as opportunities to become a better player and a better person.
