Gio can play 4 games in one day and still want to keep playing. He cannot get enough of baseball. He’s a real baller and has fun.

Baseball is an icon for American sports and Gio wants to spread that amongst the world. He loves to have fun with his amazing teammates and wants to go pro one day to show the world what he’s made of.
Gio is inspired by many things but he mostly is inspired by his favorite MLB players. He sees how strong they are and their skill and Gio works to be like them. He goes to the gym to help him feel good and do good on the field. He gives maximum effort to help his team win no matter what.
No matter win or lose he continues to want to keep playing. It inspires his team. We were playing a semi-final game against Oklahoma and we were losing, Gio hit a home-run, 320ft over the fence and while he was running home he shouted to his team, “we don’t quit no matter what”.
