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

Competing, making friends, learning new things, and being coached.


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

Cruz is inspired by his late Uncle D, he remembers when he was 2 years old his uncle was apart of his Alma mater high school basketball team, he help coach and he would have Cruz running around the gym with a basketball, since those days he never put the ball down. He now wears the #45 to honor him in sports.


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

In his first year playing flag football, he was was all about sharing and helping others better, he didn’t care about all the shine and fame he wanted others to share the spotlight also. That was very humbling to me and showed great sportsmanship.
