What athletic or academic achievement/accomplishment are you most proud of?  What did you do to put yourself in position to achieve that?
(Winning the) NCAC tournament in 2022.  We started off 0-4-2 and completely transformed our season into the most memorable soccer season I've ever been a part of.  As a team, we took things one game at a time and ended up going all the way to the second round of the NCAAs.

Time management is key.
