Broken Bow’s Tyson Woolsey – Basketball Spotlight – Presented by Jennifer Broades State Farm Insurance 

Support from family, faith and community is the foundation of Tyson Woolsey’s athletic journey, Tyson, a basketball player from Broken Bow, grew up with a passion for sports. Tyson has always felt the influence of those around her, especially her parents. “My parents are my role models. I look up to them off and on the field. They are the best parents and people. They were also great athletes who both played collegiate sports,” she said. Their example of hard work and perseverance has inspired Tyson to give her best, both in basketball and in life.

On the court, Tyson’s role is clear: she’s there to dominate inside, whether it’s scoring, creating opportunities for teammates, or locking down the defense. She’s also no stranger to hard work, sticking to a rigorous training schedule to stay at her best. “Monday through Friday, I get to the school at 7:30 to lift and run. After a full day of school, I have practice until around 5:30 or 6 o’clock. After practice, I typically run and train on my own. I also continue to put in extra work on the weekends,” Tyson explained, showing the dedication that drives her success.

However, it wasn’t always easy for Tyson. A broken ankle sidelined her for two months, the first major injury of her career. “This was my first injury, and I had no idea how big of a toll not being able to do the things I love would take on me,” she admitted. But Tyson pushed through, finding strength in her faith. “I was able to make a fast recovery by going to physical therapy and taking precautions to keep weight off of my ankle. I wouldn’t have been able to get through it if it wasn’t for knowing that God is there for me to lean on him,” she reflected.

Now, as she looks toward the future, Tyson has clear goals in mind. “My plan after high school is to continue my basketball career at the collegiate level,” she said. With the support of her family, her faith and her community, Tyson is ready to take on whatever comes next.
