What Emmett loves most about playing sport is the feeling of being fully in the moment. Whether it’s the rush of competition, the teamwork, or pushing myself to get better every day, there's nothing like it. The field becomes a place where I can be myself, challenge myself, and celebrate both the wins and the growth that comes from setbacks. It’s where passion meets purpose.
What inspires him most is the bond he shares with his dad. On and off the field, his dad is his biggest supporter—coaching, encouraging, and pushing him to be his best. They spend countless hours practicing together, building not just skills but a strong, unbreakable connection. Their shared love for the game makes every moment special and drives him to keep growing.
One of our proudest moments was watching Emmett close out a game on the mound. It was a hot day, the score was tight, and the competition was tough. But Emmett stayed focused and threw a perfect game, striking out the final batters. He walked off the field beaming and said, “I was in the zone—nothing could stop me, and I kept my emotions in check.” That mindset made all the difference.
