Graysen lives for the team! Being a part of the group, cheering on friends, lifting others up when they fall down and conquering new goals together bring him immense pride & joy. Whether shouting positive affirmations while a friend climbs a new course, or cheering for his team when he has his turn on the sideline, he wants everyone to feel the same sense of pride in their performance that he strives to feel himself.
Growing up in Kansas City, Graysen is a passionate Chiefs fan. He is consistently inspired by the one and only Patrick Mahomes. His incredible leadership, team focus, strong character, grit and determination are only rivaled with his caring heart and generosity.
That is difficult to narrow down. When much younger, a fellow very shy soccer player was sitting in the middle of the field flustered, near tears, attempting to tie his shoes. When Graysen noticed, he immediately ran to his side. Not only did he tie the teammates shoe, but he stayed on the ground with him to give a shoe tying crash course. Moments like that make me more proud than any trophy, skill, or big win.
