What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Edem loves playing football because it’s more than just a game to them — it’s a passion. It gives him a chance to challenge himself, work as a team, and push their limits. The energy on the field, the thrill of competition, and the feeling of scoring or making a great play is unmatched.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My mom and dad remind me that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about heart, mindset, and how you treat others. That’s the kind of person I want to be, both on and off the field


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

One of my proudest moments was when I helped my team come back from behind and win a tough game. I stayed focused, gave everything I had, and stepped up when it counted. That moment showed me what I’m capable of under pressure and reminded me why i love the game.
