Bryan is one of the most disciplined, and driven kid I know. A natural born leader, who excels an honors classes and maintains a high GPA. But what truly stands out is his resilience. After being bullied and breaking his leg at 8, he came back stronger, both mentally and physically. Sports have been his passion since the age of 5. He loves teamwork, the friendship he builds with coaches and teammates, and the sense of belonging that comes with it all.
His defensive line coach, coach Joe who he’s had the privilege of knowing for two years now. He admires his coach deeply because he doesn’t just expect greatness, he helps his players reach it. His coach pushes them to grow into positions they strive for and constantly challenges them to sharpen his skills. That kind of belief and guidance has made a lasting impact on my son, both on and off the field.
One moment that makes us proudest isn’t just a single game or play. It’s watching a young man he’s becoming after eight years of dedication, starting from when he first put on pads at just 5 years old. He’s now 13, and every step of his journey has shown me his strength, heart, and character. He’s smart, driven, kind, and always thinking of others. Seeing him thrive both in school and on the field has made every hardship I’ve faced a a parent worth it. I love him deeply and couldn’t be prouder.
