Well I don’t want to make it about me but my strength and David sees how hard I go and I don’t quit or give in that drive rubs off on him. He goes into a foot on gas no brakes mode. He sees my everyday grind and the sacrifices I make for him and his brother and he wants to follow my footsteps on how I'm self motivated and he is just inspired on how his mother is strong and keeps going day by day so he looks up to me and makes him want to go hard because of they way he sees me.
I can’t truly pick one because his entire journey I’m proud of. He is still learning and growing in the sport he loves. I mean his only 17 there will be many more moments i sure of it. I can say there are many moments when he steps up for his team and takes over so they can win the game. I the proudest these times because he doesn’t let it get to him he doesn’t point fingers or look for someonen too blame he takes over and scores and draws fouls and puts his teammates but in position to win.
