This is Sophie Wegman, a 16-year-old athlete from the Netherlands, living in Heerhugowaard. Sophie started doing gymnastics at the age of seven.

What makes Sophie special as a person is that she is ambitious, disciplined and pleasant to work with. She learns quickly, adapts easily and loves to be active.

What really sets Sophie apart as an athlete is that she is very eager to learn and coach. She is always open to learning new things and helps others both in and out of the gym.

In the future, Sophie hopes to become the best version of herself in America as a gymnast, teammate and student. She wants to contribute to a positive and hard-working environment, continue to develop academically and have fun in what she does. Although she does not yet know exactly what she wants to be later, she is certain that gymnastics will always be an important part of her life. The sport has taught her to believe in herself, persevere and grow both in and out of the gym.

“I bring a positive attitude, a can-do mindset, and the drive to keep improving every day.”
