Introducing our June Youth Spotlight: Evelyn Thomsen
Evelyn Thomsen has been an inspiring member of BlazeSports for nearly a year. In that time, she’s actively participated in both our swimming program and climbing clinic. One of her most memorable experiences with BlazeSports so far was competing in her very first swim meet. During the event, she showcased not only her swimming skills but also her determination to push herself to new heights. Her performance left a lasting impression on everyone around her, earning her respect and admiration from her peers and coaches alike.
When asked to describe herself, Evelyn chose three words: confident, resilient, and thoughtful. These qualities shine through in all of her endeavors. Evelyn’s proudest achievement to date is learning to run on her prosthesis. This milestone required immense dedication, patience, and perseverance, and it has significantly boosted her confidence. It’s a powerful reminder of how far she’s come and the remarkable things she can accomplish.
Evelyn’s journey with BlazeSports is just beginning, and we are excited to watch her continue to grow and thrive in every program she participates in. She has become an inspiring role model to others, proving that with the right support and determination, no goal is too far out of reach. Her story is a shining example of what’s possible when you combine hard work, resilience, and a passion for achievement.
We are incredibly proud to have Evelyn as part of our BlazeSports family. Her story is a powerful reminder of the strength and determination that exists within all of us. We can’t wait to see all the extraordinary things she will continue to accomplish as she takes on new challenges and pursues her dreams.
