These students, who have shown such dedication and perseverance despite limited resources, now feel equipped to compete with confidence. Knowing they have the proper safety gear has lifted their spirits and enhanced their sense of belonging on the team. The headgear not only provides a physical barrier to prevent injury but also reinforces the idea that they are valued and deserving of the same equipment and opportunities as athletes from wealthier schools.
