As soon as Steph learned to walk everyone knew she was a born athlete. She tried every sport there was, and excelled at all of them. As she grew older, she had to make a decision to focus on one sport. Because her love for soccer excelled over all the others, that was the sport she chose. She played on many club teams, as well as the high school soccer team where she set the record for all-time scorer during her time at Huntsville High. Her soccer claim to fame was not an easy journey for her though, as she endured many injuries, which involved hip and knee surgeries. Through all of this pain, she kept a positive attitude.
