"Izzy plays for Kingwood Youth Lacrosse, playing both field positions, but most recently her favorite position, goalie. Her coaches and teammates are an amazing support system understanding her autism and what she needs. Encouraging her to try new things, always positive about her abilities, and using different ways of teaching that you can process. Without the positivity of coaches and teammates, "I probably wouldn't be playing." Trying new things, something children with autism struggle with, has not stopped her. While COVID has thrown a wrench into everyone's lacrosse seasons in 2020-2021, she worked with her goalie coach on the basics for 6 months, and played her first game as a goalie in December 2020."
