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

My son loves the thrill of competition, the bond with his teammates, and the feeling of giving it his all. it’s not just about winning. it’s about growing, learning, and having fun every step of the way.


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

On the field, my son looks up to his coaches and teammates. Off the field, he inspires himself. Even though no one in our family plays hockey and baseball, he found his own passion and pushes himself to be better every day. His drive comes from within, and that’s what makes him truly special.


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

There have been many, but one that stands out is when my son first tried ice skating at just 4 years old. None of us could skate, but he was determined. He fell over and over, got hurt but kept getting back up and trying again. His courage and determination made me incredibly proud.
