Grayson loves being part of a team community where he can make new friends, stay active, and enjoy the game he loves. He thrives in an environment where he's constantly learning, especially when it comes to new drills he can apply in real game situations. Grayson is a coachable, focused player who listens well and follows directions, always striving to improve. Driven by a strong desire to learn, grow, and win, he gives his full effort every time he steps on the court or field.
His number one idol is Steph Curry. Since the age of four, he’s been inspired by Curry’s game, especially his incredible ability to shoot from anywhere on the court. He loves knocking down threes in games and often mimics Curry’s signature gestures after scoring. Steph’s relentless work ethic and determination to improve have made a lasting impact on him, both on and off the court. His second idol is NFL star George Kittle, followed by soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo for their passion and drive.
Grayson played in a soccer tournament where his team played 4 games and down 2 players the entire time. There were no complaints, no breaks, just heart. The team won 3 out of 4 games, pushing themselves to the limit with incredible effort and resilience. As a parent and coach, I couldn’t be more proud. The kids never gave up or got discouraged. Grayson was everywhere. Offense, defense, and chasing down every ball. He made key plays, scored goals, and gave everything he had. It was truly special.
