It seems to me that the best part of football for Anthony would be the development on the field that converts to real life. As a travel player, he is able to meet new friends and learn new skills from different coaches. While football is where his passion lies, Anthony finds the same joy in all the sports he participates in.
When asked this question before, Anthony mentioned his mother, myself, as his driving force. He feels I am a very determined person who never gives up, and he walks in that same path of determination. He also has an NFL player for inspiration, Trent Williams, who he feels has lived the life in sports he inspires to have. Trent has worked hard to claim his spot, and Anthony is also working around the clock to form himself into a standout athlete,
I would say the proudest moment would be when he made his first touchdown. As a lineman, getting touchdowns is a chance encounter that Anthony had the ability to feel. Anthony is big on being useful to any coach, which is why he has learned different positions to make himself versatile.
