Senior and varsity basketball player Maddy Mairs is this month’s Collegiate Player of the Month.
Mair is known for her play on the basketball court, but it’s not the only sport she’s played as a student-athlete at Collegiate.
“My main sport that I play is basketball, but I have also played tennis for my freshmen and sophomore years of high school. In basketball, I mostly play post on the inside. However, this year I’m working on playing outside on the perimeter where I can grow and improve my skills,” said Mairs.
“What I love most about my team is how close we have become to the point where we each want what’s best for the other teammate. Because of the support that we have for each other, playing with a purpose and a passion is hard not to do. I also love how my teammates and I have become such a tight knit family over the past three years.”
Once she graduates from Collegiate, Mairs will continue her education in college and plans to make a commitment to serve in the United States military.
“My plans for after graduating Collegiate are going to college as a Cadet in training to pursue the U.S. Air Force in the future. I believe that the Air Force is best fit for me, because of the teamwork aspect which I love and is what sports has taught me. I love the idea that I’m going to be challenged and pushed every day, physically and mentally in the Air Force. Challenging myself has always been my driving force and knowing that I could be a part of something as big as the Air Force is so exciting to me,” said Mairs.
