“My freshman year at SAGU was a great learning experience for me spiritually and athletically,” Myers said. “Being part of a team comes with many responsibilities. In my opinion, one of the most important characteristics of a teammate is servant hood. I have learned that it’s not about what I can do as an individual, but as a team. Being a Lady Lion means to pick each other by helping and serving one another. We are one family who shares one heart. I have also learned that I need to develop my mental game along with other physical skills.

“The mentality of a player determines how much success they will have and the same goes for the mentality of the team. I work hard for my teammates and coaches to bring glory to God. A verse I live by is 1 Corinthians 10:31 ‘So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.’ God has given me my abilities and talents and I hope others will see my talents and recognize the God I serve.”
