Athletes put in a lot of time and effort so that they can perform at their highest level on game day. And when they see their hard work pay off, that can make for a great moment in their life. Stone Fisher is a multisport athlete at Crescent High School and he says that there was a moment last season that showed him his work was paying off.

“I think the highlight moment of my career was making it to the state track meet last year as a sophomore,” he said. “For football, it would be making it to the quarterfinals of the playoffs.”

Along with being on the track and football teams, Fisher is also a member of the school’s powerlifting team. The junior says that while it takes a lot to be his best, he has his eye on his goal.

“It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be successful,” he said. “I keep myself motivated to put in the work because I want to win either a gold ball or a gold medal.”

There have been a number of people and coaches that have been influential in Stone’s life, but he says that there are a few that have had a bigger impact.

“My dad is my role model,” he said. “He’s my coach and has always been there pushing me to be my best. Sometimes as a coach’s kid it isn’t just at practice and the film isn’t always during team film; I’m glad I’m a coach’s kid even though it’s hard at times. I’m also very thankful for Brian Dalke, a volunteer at our school, that has also put a lot of hard work and time into helping me improve my technique and be a better thrower.”

No matter what sport he is competing in, Stone has one school that he enjoys getting a win against the most.

“The team I like to beat the most is Cashion,” he said. “It’s always Cashion, although I have some pretty good buddies over there, just rivals in competition.”
