Yael Averbuch: Find Your Team

Posted Jul 22, 2018
Yael Averbuch: "College was the first time I truly felt a full connection with my team. My Tar Heel teammates became my family and saw all of me, the good and bad. We cried together, laughed together, and accepted one another for all our weirdness, flaws and amazing strengths. Once again in my career, though, the meaning of being part of a team has shifted for me." (Yael Averbuch)
