This episode is a Story Session - where athletes who have written for The Sideline Perspective website read their reflection in their own words and reflect back on what it meant to process that time of transition and change in their lives. This episode features Violet Carroll's story.

Violet is a 6th grader at the Richmond Middle School in Hanover, NH. She has been a hockey goalie for the past 4 seasons and currently plays for the Valley Junior Warriors. In addition to hockey, she runs track and plays lacrosse. She also enjoys creative writing, singing, and annoying her brother by watching Grey's Anatomy and listening to Taylor Swift. She hopes to play college hockey someday as well as become a doctor or a teacher.

Since its inception The Sideline Perspective has been about sharing the great diversity of perspectives there are when it comes to how athletes handle being sidelined from their sport. We’ve covered different sports, different genders, different backgrounds, and now Violet’s story help shed light on how being sidelined can feel across different ages as well.
