My family. My family has always been there for me and they are there to support and push me to do the best I can no matter what I do. Not only in sports, but in every day life as well.
When Ayden broke his PR in High Jump at his first track meet after his ankle surgery. He cleared 6’6”, jumped off the mat and ran to me. He hugged me so tight and told me how much he loves me. He then went on to clear 6’8” and the 6’10” before calling it. I was so worried about his jumping at that meet and he went on to break his high schools record! It was such a wonderful moment to see him accomplish that goal!
