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

Ezra has wrestles since he was 4 and has played football starting around age 8. The work and dedication that Ezra puts into everything on and off of the field is unmatched. He is a true natural leader and pushes not only himself but his teammates to have that same drive. He is an old soul that has proven to himself that hard work and determination truly pays off. He stays hungry for the end goal of success and loves the camaraderie of his teammates! He loves being a positive role model to others

Papap has always told him you never let anyone take anything away from you! You are Ezra!
