For junior Katie Bergmann, basketball isn’t just a sport, but a passion that began in her early childhood years. Being a student athlete is a large commitment.
Bergmann has to balance Varsity basketball, school work, and her job, all while making sure she is practicing enough hours each week to improve.
When things get tough, Bergmann looks to her AAU coach for motivation.
“When I don’t feel like I’m doing my best, or surrounded by the type of motivation I need, I know she’s always one text or one call away,” Bergmann said.
Bergmann says that spending the season with the girls is her favorite part of playing basketball at Mehlville.
As the season progressed, Bergmann continued to play and improve.
Bergmann and her team made it to the second round in district games, and ended the season with a 15:10 record.
