While he has a passion for all sports, football holds a special place in his heart. He throws a perfect spiral without even trying, and his natural talent for catching and running is something to see. On his flag football team, his teammates call him “Pull City”—because when he’s on the field, those flags don’t stand a chance!
Deklin often tells me that I inspire him because I always encourage him, root for him, and make sure he has everything he needs to succeed. But the truth is, he inspires me—with his kindness, his heart, and his determination.
At a recent practice, Deklin told his coach, “Coach, I want you to work me the hardest out of everyone on the team at every practice.” This speaks volumes about his character—he's not afraid of hard work and is always striving to push himself to be better, to learn more, and to give his absolute best every single day.
