Comic-style speech bubble with the text 'Where Are They Now?'

Laying down a solid foundation filled with instruction, smiles and fun in a positive atmosphere is our duty as their first coaches - from there, they can achieve anything.

Peyton consistently brought enthusiasm and positivity to every sports class. She always followed directions attentively and showed the utmost respect for her PESAKids coaches. Competitive by nature, she knew when to take things seriously and approached challenges with determination. Her natural athleticism allowed her to excel across all sports, and she was truly a joy to have in class.

"Peyton was excited to play soccer because of Coach Dan at the age of 3. She had a rocky start but was encouraged to stay and play by another one of her coaches. She has played travel soccer every season she could for the past 5 years. Soccer has become a passion of hers. She's a fierce left defender and is working on mastering her corner kicks. She hopes to one day make it to the pros! Thank you PESA for sparking a flame in her!"
