Calypsa Benson's Bio

Bio

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once famously remarked, "Intelligence plus character: that is the goal of true education." I have been very blessed to learn in school and on the court from exemplary coaches, teachers, and players who have set an excellent example for me to emulate. As a result, I strive diligently to learn in each opportunity and to develop as a student-athlete. I cherish feedback from my coaches and seek out ways to continue to improve, using every note they take their time to give
