Hudson loves the thrill of competition and the challenge of pushing himself to get better every day. Whether it’s basketball, baseball, football or anything in between, he thrives on being part of a team, making big plays, and learning from every game. But more than anything, he loves the grind—the practices, the sweat, and the feeling of giving it his all. For Hudson, sports are more than a game—they’re a way to grow, compete, and chase something bigger than himself.
Hudson is inspired by his dad, who shows him what hard work, dedication, and leadership look like every day. His mom is his biggest cheerleader, always encouraging him to stay positive, give his best, and never give up. On the field, he looks up to athletes who play with heart and hustle, but off the field, it’s his family—especially his parents—who motivate him to be respectful, focused, and driven. Their support reminds him that character matters just as much as talent.
One of our proudest moments was during basketball season when Hudson worked tirelessly to make 3-pointers. He never gave up, putting in extra time and effort to improve. All that hard work paid off during a rec night at the high school—he stepped up at halftime and drained a 3-pointer in front of a packed gym. The crowd erupted, and seeing his hard work shine in that moment was unforgettable. It was pure joy and pride rolled into one amazing shot.
