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

He loves learning how to get better and focusing on improving himself no matter what. He enjoys the learning process. He loves his teammates and pumping them up! Overall just enjoys competition!


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

Off the field his dad. He looks up to him and loves asking for advice and for him to give him examples of what it takes to be better. He loves that his dad takes time for him and is always at every practice or game. Always coaching him up!


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

Just seeing him want to improve his skills and understanding that if he isn’t learning new things he isn’t getting better. Constantly asking questions to people that have played the sport before him what they did to prepare.
