“I appreciate the opportunity to share my story with young readers on Vooks, and I hope it will inspire them to be the absolute best that they can be, no matter what dreams they decide to pursue,” said Lott. “To me, it didn’t matter where I played—I just wanted to play well,” Lott said. “A large part of that mindset was due to the grit and determination that was instilled in me at a young age, driving me forward from a kid on the playground to the biggest stage of all.”
