Damar love the game of football, it’s the brotherhood it builds, the thrill of competition, and the physical and mental challenges it brings. The discipline it teaches, the excitement of game day, and the powerful bonds formed with teammates. For many, football isn’t just a sport—it’s a passion, a way of life, and a place where they feel most alive.
I would say that he is deeply inspired by his coach, both on and off the field. His Coach often serve as a mentor and pushing him to reach his full potential while teaching valuable life lessons like discipline, resilience, and teamwork. Through tough practices and motivational talks, his coach help with his growth and not just as an athlete, but as individual. His guidance, and leadership leave a lasting impact, making them some of the most influential figures in Damar’s life.
As a parent, there are many moments that make us proud of our children, but as a football mom, one of the moments I’m most proud of in my son’s football journey was how he handled adversity. Even while dealing with injuries, he continued to show up, support his teammates, and contribute in any way he could. He took on a leadership role by helping coach others on how to run their routes and never gave up on himself, his team, or the game.
