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

I love the energy — the running, the cheering, the crowd, the sound of your name being called. It’s where you shine brightest. You train hard, not because someone tells you to, but because you want it.


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

My coaches inspire me not just because they teach football — but because they teach life They push me when I want to quit. They see something in me that I don’t always see in myself. Every drill, every correction, every moment they challenge me — it’s not just about the game. It’s about becoming better, stronger, and more disciplined. Every person who doubted him also inspires him to do great things.


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

When I see my son help up a player from the other team — especially one who's down or injured — it makes me proud in a way that goes far beyond football. It reminds me that sports aren’t just about winning. They’re about character. They’re about respect, empathy, and showing heart even in the heat of competition.
