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

Working hard and being able to see the good results. He worked every day since breaking his ankle to come back and play baseball this season and ended up making the all star team.


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

Shohei Ohtani motivates me to be better every day. Seeing him be a great two way player makes me work harder every day so I can one day be in the league.


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

My proudest moment is my grand slam. I worked so hard on my hitting this year because I struggled since I started playing 3 years ago. Literally the best day ever. I have been outside working every day and hitting popcorn kernels so I can see the ball better and am so proud of myself.
