Halo is an athlete from Everest Taekwondo and has been competing since 2021. She started taekwondo at four years old and it has been a big aspect in her life regarding achievements, health, and lifestyle! “As a kid, I had low self esteem, and when my parents put me in different sports, it helped me engage and eventually love it, especially taekwondo! I also tried and loved soccer when I was in elementary and middle school. 

There are so many sports young kids can try and I suggest they explore as many as they can! They learn things beyond the sports—like teamwork, leadership, respect, and discipline. Once you get into a sport, your teammates become like a family, and that’s what’s makes the experience even more special.”
