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

Ayden loves the energy and excitement of the game — the feeling of being part of a team, working together toward a win, and celebrating those small and big victories on the field. He thrives on the structure, the competition, and the challenge of improving his skills. But more than anything, Ayden loves the way football makes him feel strong, confident, and proud — like he belongs to something bigger than himself.

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

On the football field, Ayden is inspired by Ja’Marr Chase, one of the best wide receivers in the league. He admires Chase’s speed, skill, and determination — and watching him play motivates Ayden to train harder and become a better athlete. Off the field, Ayden draws inspiration from his family and his school counselors. Their constant encouragement and belief in his potential push him to do his best in everything he takes on, whether it’s academics, sports, or personal growth.

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

The moment that made me the proudest was when my team won our first championship together. It was our second season playing as a team, and we had worked incredibly hard — practicing, learning, and growing together. All that effort paid off, and bringing that championship home was one of the best feelings ever. It showed me what’s possible when you never give up and believe in your team.
