Henry loves playing basketball and baseball because they're super fun! In basketball, he gets to run, jump, and shoot the ball into the hoop—it feels awesome when it goes in! Baseball is cool because he likes hitting the ball really far and running the bases fast. He plays with his friends and laughs a lot. It makes him feel happy and strong.
Henry is inspired by Jackson Merrill because he plays with heart, hustle, and never gives up. He wants to be just like that on the field. Off the field, his dad is his biggest inspiration—always there to practice, encourage, and teach him to work hard and stay kind. They’re his heroes.
I was so proud watching Henry catch 5 innings in his All-Star game. He showed grit and resilience with every pitch—never giving up, even when things got tough. He stayed focused, worked hard, and gave it his all. Watching him lead behind the plate with such heart and determination was incredible!
