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

He has always had a passion for sports. He loves football, basketball, hockey, & much more. But baseball has a special place in his heart. He was in jujitsu & one day his step-dad bought him a glove and bat. He wanted to give baseball a shot but it wasn't baseball season. His step-dad died a few months after and never got to see him play. Ever since it has been a safe place for him. A place to let the struggles of life disappear and for a moment he feels nothing but pure bliss.


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

Himself. He wants to be the absolute best version of himself in everything he does. He feels he has a calling for baseball and is determined to see that become a reality. Baseball brings him nothing but pure happiness and he feels that happiness is worth putting in the work for.


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

He tried out for what he thought was his school's track & field team but in reality he was trying out for their cross country team. In his defense the school did advertise & refer to the team as their track team. He didn't realize the dedication it takes to push himself that far, yet he did it. I will never forget the moment I saw him pushing his second round around the track. Although it wasn't his favorite, he did it & they even placed third in the parish. I was so very proud.
