Aguilar is aChristian. She has said “I used to eat, breathe and sleep softball. But when God was introduced to my life and became my life, softball no longer defined me. God’s plans and the ability He's given me in softball are why I play. I see His hand in every part of my journey. Embodying the character of Christ is my end goal; it's not just about winning a gold medal. I want to let the light of Christ shine through me.”[15]
