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

He is just overall super active and loves to spend his time & energy on playing anything he can. He can play for hours, he’s constantly asking to go to the park to play basketball, soccer and baseball. He loves doing reps on his days off & can be at practice for hours. He even loves to stay and watch his friends play who are on other teams.


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

He’s super into watching baseball games on tv and knows a lot about the new players like Aaron Judge & Shohei Ohtani. He’ll even watch girls softball & spends his screen time watching home run hits and plays.


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

When he was around 5-6 he was super sick with high fevers. He had just received a shot of antibiotics to his backside & needed a second one the next day. He had a game and still had some fever but asked for some Tylenol and begged me to take him to his game. I gave in and we won the tournament that day with his home run hit. Another one of his home run hits out of the park and grand slams. My boy makes me so proud when he’s on that field.
