[Participating in ACE] is worth everything. This is such a great opportunity that a lot of people aren’t offered, so I will give [the program] my all and make the most of it.”

Dear Future #ACEathletes,
- Best advice for making the most of your ACE experience: Be yourself. No matter the situation of application process or interviews or once you get to your destination through ACE, be yourself. Everything will be stressful for sure and you will have a lot of anxiety and anxious to know everything or to be everywhere but if you take a deep breathe and be yourself everything will fall into place.
