Rookies

Emily DiDonato

"I played soccer and lacrosse, but basketball was my main sport. My specialty was defense. I was a swingman, just like LeBron."

A native of upstate New York, Emily gave up basketball when she started modeling. "Once in a while I'll go to the park and shoot hoops," she says. "Mostly now I do yoga and spinning with my pal [and fellow rookie] Kate Bock."
