What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Austin said he loves the challenge that he is given. He says what they challenge him to do, some may not think he can but he goes out there and proves them wrong. Anything he puts his mind too, he strives and give it his all and achieved those goals.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Austin says JJ Watt. He says that he was booed during the draft and came out and proved his worth to the Texans Nation on and off the field. He has done so much for Houston and surrounding areas. Austin strives to achieve both as JJ did. When someone tells him he can't, he goes and does all he can to prove them wrong, achieved his goals and comes out a better person.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

In youth football, while playing one thoughests teams in the league, he took down the biggest player of the other team. Everyone called it the "David and Goliath" moment and was caught in a photo. In that game, he also scored his first 2 touchdowns. I have never seen a bigger smile and we all cried with him.
