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

Israel loves the brotherhood he has formed through football. He is an only child so making bonds is a special thing for him. He enjoys the competitiveness that comes with playing football and being able to meet new players on and off the field.


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

The person who inspires Israel the most would be his Grandfather’s. They are hardworking, kind hearted and gentle giants. They have instilled so many life lessons and valuable gems that he will carry throughout his life.


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

One moment in Israel’s journey so far that has made me so proud is this past season when he lost his grandfather and two days later he had a game. He still wanted to play, and they won. His resilience is something to be proud of. He is a remarkable child with a bright and blessed future ahead of him.
