Cassidy Moody is like a sponge.
The three-sport athlete, who will enter Coupeville High School as a freshman in the fall, is always eager to pick up new advice on how she can fine-tune her game.
That, and her ability to work with her teammates, are particular strengths for a young woman who plans to play soccer and basketball and compete in track and field as a Wolf.
“I’m not afraid to ask for help,” Moody said. “I get along with most everyone.
“I like playing with other people as a team and having fun with everyone while we all get better.”
While she enjoys all of her sports (Moody played volleyball in middle school, since CMS doesn’t have a soccer program), she singles track out as being closest to her heart.
“My favorite is track because it’s like an individual sport where you compete by yourself,” she said. “Also because I love doing the high jump.”
As she moves up a rung in the prep sports world, Moody wants to focus on … focusing.
“I need to work on trying harder at practice and paying attention,” she said. “As an athlete I need to work on paying attention more, and during school I would like to improve my grades and listening.”
When she’s not competing, Moody enjoys sketching, playing the ukulele and singing.
She hails “Ice Age” as her favorite film, “Caraphernelia” by Pierce the Veil as her go-to song, and loves henna art, hanging out with friends and sleeping.
It’s those friends who have helped shape Moody’s life, and continue to do so.
“My friends have pushed me to become a better athlete, being the only major athlete in my family,” she said. “And my closest friends have a huge impact of who I became and who I’m becoming.”
