“This is a treasure trove of knowledge that I hope everybody will pick up.” —Ashley Hatch

“Supporting DC SCORES has been a true highlight of my career. These poet-athletes have opened my eyes to so much, and have even pushed me outside of my own comfort zone and onto the poetry stage on at least one occasion! There's no better way to understand the hopes, fears, and dreams of kids than through their own words, so this is a treasure trove of knowledge that I hope everybody will pick up.”

—Ashley Hatch, Washington Spirit & US Women's National Team
