Mount Vernon is a small town in Kentucky that you have probably never heard of. It is a place where athletics are paramount, and many kids view their sport as a ticket to bigger and better things. It is a place where athletes dream big, even when their chances seem small. For Sara Hammond, she knew from an early age that her ticket was already punched.

Her heart was set on the WNBA. But thankfully, she was raised to have her eyes fixed on Jesus.

Although many people in her life were telling Sara she would make a great coach, her focus was keeping her name on the WNBA draft boards. Coaching just did not seem appealing to her. From my personal experiences with coaches, I just saw how much they had to sacrifice whether [it was] their time, being away from family, no off days, working still once they leave their office.

Sara hit the off-season hard after her senior year. The season did not exactly end the way she wanted it to, but she knew she had what it took to play professional basketball.

God will provide and direct your steps. But for Sara, the payoff was not playing professional basketball in America. It was during her time overseas that Sara really started to read and deeply reflect on her relationship with Christ. It really opened my eyes to what my purpose was and is.
