Page "Carolyn Moos" Paragraph 4

She began playing basketball in the 6th grade as even in her youth she was quite tall, already standing over six feet tall at thirteen years old.

She was influenced by her family and her older brother Dan and was later approached by her school's coach Julie Grim, a six foot five inch woman who later became her mentor, and who convinced her to play the game.

Already standing above six feet and having played all other sports prior, Moos eagerly agreed to try a new adventure.

She played for the North Tartan AAU team that won nationals and earned the Sporting News Top Student Athletes in the Country among other numerous awards.

Moos claims she began playing basketball not to justify her height, but to express her soul and who she was on the inside.
