Savannah Portillo
"Hi, I'm Savannah! I am an overachiever in most things, bubbly and ALWAYS talking. Many people at tournaments know me as a person to come to for a quick laugh or even a pep talk. I'm up for just about anything and always have to be doing something. When I am not in the bowling alley bowling a tournament or practicing, you will probably find me facetiming my friends that live out of state, working at the restaurant in my town, or even sitting in my room just simply working on something for school. I love math and English. But during those classes you may also find me in the Agricultural classes. Where I seem to sneak away too. A big part of my life is agriculture and I love to talk abt that and FFA just as much as I do about bowling. One of my favorite animals is easily a mini highland cow. Although, my life is crazy busy compared to most 15 year old kids, I wouldn't change it for the world. I am thankful to have parents and family who are always up for my crazy ideas and support me in whatever I choose to do which has helped me to be the person I am today!"
What does it mean to you to join team Storm?
"By having he opportunity to join Storm it shows that all the subtle hard work that has been put in on the lanes and even off has been seen by not only me but others. I feel that not only the things you do on the lanes are what define you in the bowling atmosphere. And I think the attitude I portray has increasingly helped me to be picked to be apart of this team and It shows me that although I put the work in I need to keep working because that will benefit me even more."
What do you enjoy most about sports?
"I enjoy so many aspects of a sport. But the part that I truly enjoy the most is the mental aspect of it. The way that one mistake could ruin the whole game because mentally you can't bring yourself back. Or the days where you have the strongest mental game and beat everyone. Its insane how much one brain can really change a person. And being able to see that in every sport is something I really enjoy!"
