My son loves to play sports because it’s where he truly comes alive. He feels sports bring out the best in him. He thrives on competition, always striving to improve and give his all. He loves being part of a team, making new friends, working together, and cheering others on. Whether it’s baseball, soccer, or basketball, he’s always in motion and full of energy. He lives, breathes, and dreams the game—sports aren’t just something he does, they’re a part of who he is.
My son is inspired by people who chase greatness with heart. He looks up to Rocky Balboa for never giving up, no matter the odds. Elly De La Cruz motivates him with his talent, hard work, and determination—especially learning English while becoming a star. And his dad, a sports standout himself, showed him how to lead with strength and humility. On and off the field, these role models push him to dream big and give his all.
Grayson led his soccer team to the league championship last year. In the final moments of overtime, he stole the ball on the far side of the field, sprinted down the line, made a move, and scored the game-winning goal! He ripped off his shirt and ran to hug his teammates. It was a moment of pure joy and an unforgettable highlight in his young sports journey!
