Her Rebirth

#whoisshe

At 22 years old, Angela Grant a senior at Faulkner University not only aggressively handles the basketball on the court, but she has a good handle on her life off the court. Angela is quick and gives credit to those who have guided her on her journey.

Q. Who has been your biggest influencer with basketball?

A. My dad has been my biggest influence because he is the one that I watched growing up. He never pushed me to play basketball, but he did show me how to love and respect the sport.

Q. Share a moment of adversity when you realized your strength.

A. After tearing my ACL twice within a year it was an extremely hard time trying to get back to playing again. There were a couple instances where I did not know who I was, but then I remembered that my identity is not found in basketball. It is instead found in my beliefs in Christ. Having this belief allows for me to face adversity and know that I will make it through, no matter how difficult it may be.
