Antun has a deep love for sports that shines every time he steps on the field. Whether he’s playing with his team or practicing on his own, his eyes light up with focus and excitement. It’s more than just a game to him — it’s where he feels confident, challenged, and truly alive. He gives his all, not just to win, but because he genuinely loves every moment of playing, learning, and growing. Even when it’s tough, he pushes through, driven by a passion that runs deep and a joy that’s impossible

One moment in my son’s athletic journey that makes me the proudest was when he didn’t give up — even when things got tough. Whether it was during a close game, after a tough loss, or when he was struggling to improve, he kept pushing forward with heart and determination. Seeing him show courage, sportsmanship, and resilience reminded me that it’s not just about winning it’s about growth, character, and passion. That moment showed me how much he’s grown not just as an athlete, but as a young man.
