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

He loves how meeting every challenge improves his skills and abilities even if his team takes a loss. The lessons of each game come home with him and they have become part of him to make him an awesome player.


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

He has been blessed to be coached by some great men on different teams since age 11. Each coach has taught him something that he uses at every practice and every game. He is inspired by the challenge of improving his game again and again with hopes of one day being the best to do it.


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

I have many. Cortez didn't start playing football until age 11 in 2022. No one knew he had God given natural ability until then. He won Rookie of the Year and a team championship trophy his first year playing. It hasnt stopped. Every year after he has received more trophies and accolades. This year his abilities have led him to be invited to attend and play f a prestigious private HS. He also was nominated for and had an impactful performance in the WI All State Game on the winning team side.
