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

Bentley has an interest for all sports, but most passionately interested in basketball, golf, and football. While his love for the game started from a place of pure joy, it evolved into a genuine fascination with the technical side of sports; the science, the strategies, and the detailed breakdowns that make each play work the way it should work. During training, Bentley performs at his best when the strategy is explained in depth, down to the mechanics, posture, and purpose behind every move.


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

Bentley is deeply inspired by his father. It's something you can see in the way he moves, listens, and carries himself; his dad is his hero, and he naturally wants to be just like him. For a father, having that kind of influence without ever needing to apply pressure is a true blessing and a quiet joy. His dad was the one who introduced him to sports and helped him discover his first passions. Beyond that, Bentley is also motivated by a few key popular athletes and somecoaches; Steven Gray to na


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

Bentley found himself on a team where it quickly became clear to both of us, that he had no choice but to step up and lead. Without being told how, he naturally rose to the occasion and led with a level of maturity and heart I've rarely seen in someone his age. As a parent I was incredibly proud, it was one of those moments that reminded me l'm raising a truly special young man. He was the strongest player on the team, but he never let that go to his head. He stayed humble&challenge them to rise
