He loves to dominant the mat and prove that his age doesmt match his ability. His weight bracket allows him to really test his skills and compete with kids 2-4 years older than him. Football is his joy because he can show how strong he is on the D-line.
Ray Lewis without question!! His strength on and off the field. He loves his stories on how wrestling shaped his football skills and it shows him how his commitment to both can payoff later.
He was face to face with a wrestler who clearly was much older, significantly taller and more skilled and he didn't back down to the challenge. No tears or fear, even when asked was he scared he said no, one of us had to win today it was him one day it will be me!! He was only 6 at that time, 2 years later his skill set ans strength put him on the mat with wrestlers like the one he lost to and he became the No. 1 seed in the area.
