My name is Isabella Tierney. I am a junior here at the University of Dubuque and play on the Women’s Basketball team. The focus that I have taken on my physical health has positively assisted me in navigating through today’s intense challenges. Division lll basketball has given me such amazing opportunities, given me the best of friends and I have had great success playing. On the other hand, it is extremely challenging both physically and mentally. Ensuring I am going to the trainers, eating right and getting the right amount of sleep is so important to performing in the ways I need to for my team. Not only does this help with my on-court performance, but also the way I feel mentally. When I physically feel good and healthy, my mind is more at ease. Playing with an at mind ease really helps take the pressure off so I can just play the game I love with the people I love.
