SAN ANTONIO – Meet Instant Replay’s newest Scholar Athlete of the Week, Micah Rabey of Incarnate Word High School.

Micah is a four-year member of the varsity golf team and has been their co-captain the last two seasons. She’s a member of the 2021-2022 TAPPS 6A District Champion golf team. She was named TAPPS Academic All-State as a junior. Micah also performs community service through St. Luke’s Catholic Church. She’s a member of the National Honor Society, is the head of props for the school’s theatre company and is a school ambassador. Micah maintains a 3.7 GPA and has already committed to playing collegiate golf for Schreiner University where she will major in Kinesiology and minor in Psychology.

WHAT MEMORIES DO YOU TAKE AWAY WITH YOU AS YOU LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL?

“My fondest memory of high school has to be hanging out with my friends at school and making new friends over the last four years. It also has to be my golf career. I’ve put in a lot of hard work these last four years and I’ve gone from shooting in the hundreds to shooting in the 70s.”

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS?

“Stay on top of your academics. Put academics first always. Being a good athlete means you know how to balance, you know how to put student before athlete.”

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER YOU GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL?

“I plan to go to Schreiner University and play golf. My major is going to be Kinesiology and I’m going to have a minor in Psychology and I want to be a Sports Psychologist. My sophomore year was the worst year for my golf career. I was putting the hours in but I wasn’t getting results. I was on the verge of quitting. I learned from my coach that my mental game was one of the most important parts of my game and I had to learn to handle that. That’s what led me to learn more about Sports Psychology.”
