    It's Every Day
    Rubin is an elite athlete, but she hasn't allowed that to take over her life. She still contributes to many charities and knows the value of being a role model. "I definitely know that there are kids who see me play and look up to me. Maybe they can get some kind of inspiration from what I do, just like I got inspiration from other players who came before me."
