In this episode of the Students on Students (SOS) podcast, the youth led team interviews Zoey Stevenson, a talented seventh grade student athlete from Fall Creek Valley. Zoey discusses her basketball journey, which began at age five and turned into a true passion at age nine. She shares how she balances athletics with academics, noting that her transition from private to public school has been manageable thanks to the discipline she developed and her reliance on prayer and community support. A standout player who compares her game to A’ja Wilson and Juju Watkins, Zoey also reflects on her experience filming a local commercial and her aspirations to play college basketball for a coach who fits her specific style. Beyond the court, she offers valuable advice to other students on managing stress by avoiding bottling up emotions and instead seeking out trusted people to talk to.
