DeAntonyo(D3) loves how it teaches him to connect with others through all walks of life for one common goal. He enjoys the feelings of learning a skill and showcasing it in front of family and friends. He also enjoys the thought of doing something he loves and turning it into a career.
His father DeAntonyo Sr. inspires him because he has made a sacrifice every day of his life as a member of our US military. His father played sports his entire life and still plays semi pro football in his spare time. But when his college scholarships didn’t go as planned he chose to go to serve in the military and is still doing so his children didn’t have to make a choice as a means to an end.
We would say his perseverance in anything he does. He strives to be the best at anything he does. His last football season he had to choose to step up and play QB for his team and he naturally showed up and showed out. His first game after waiting 3 hour delay due to a storm he had 3 TD as the QB and led his team to a victory. Their team went all the way to the championship!
