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

Courage is a young boy with a big heart and an even bigger passion for football. From the moment he puts on his uniform, his eyes light up with excitement. He loves the teamwork, the challenge, and the thrill of the game. Whether he’s on the field or practicing at home, Courage gives it his all, showing determination, discipline, and a true love for the sport. Football isn’t just a game to him — it’s where he feels confident, strong, and proud.


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

Chris Bobo, Courage’s dad, is incredibly proud of his son because he sees more than just a young football player — he sees a boy with heart, drive, and determination. Chris has watched Courage grow both on and off the field, always pushing himself to be better, never giving up, and showing real sportsmanship. What makes Chris the proudest isn’t just the touchdowns or tackles — it’s Courage’s commitment, respect for the game, and the joy he brings to everything he does.


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

Chris Bobo stood on the sidelines, watching his son Courage jog onto the football field in his bright yellow and green uniform. The helmet in Courage’s hand swung by his side, and his smile was wide and fearless. Chris’s heart swelled with pride—not because his son was the best player on the team, but because of how far he had come. Courage didn’t always have it easy. He was smaller than most of the other kids and had to work twice as hard to keep up.
