I find it interesting that in an interview posted on a Jewish sports blog, Ms. Lieberman said the following:

"What does your Judaism mean to you? Have you ever thought about playing or coaching in the Maccabi Games?

I have been invited to play in it but it conflicted with USA basketball. So I wasnÌ¢‰â‰ã¢t able to participate. I would love the opportunity to coach. I am proud of my heritage and family. I am proud of religion and it is deeply proud of what I do. There is a closeness and protective state amongst family. It is like being a part of a wonderful team. It is an honor to be a Jewish athlete. Playing against Amy Schneider when I was young was amazing. People used to say why was I a tomboy, but I think that has come full circle. I am always around great athletes and I get a lot of respect and love from people for my Judaism."

Her accomplishments in sports and her foundation work make her an inspiration to young girls and boys.
