DJ is the true definition of a phenomenal athlete! He is humble, coachable, and makes the effort to be better than he was the day before.
Thank you for generously supporting Darian in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
The competitiveness for sure! The overall sense of achievement from improving his skills, teammate brotherhood, and the joy of contributing to the team’s success.
Darian’s mother inspires him. Her hard work, dedication, and perseverance on a daily basis has been something special to witness.
I was proudest when DJ was able to contribute to a National World Championship win amongst peers at the ESPN Complex at Disney World 2025! So many obstacles he endured during that game. He beat ALL odds against him and kept his head focused and in the game!
