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

He loves the speed, competition and camaraderie fostered between himself, teammates and his competitors.


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

Sabien Tinson-one of the fastest, decorated inline speedskaters in the world from the United States who has transitioned to ice and is now vying for a spot on the US (ice) speedskating team. Justin Harris-older brother, Yale graduate, Yale Men's Soccer- best human ever!


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

There was a race where Jace made a possible illegal pass and caused another skater to fall. He was disqualified for that race, effectively taking him out of the running to win the overall, which in the past would've devastated him in tears past. Instead, he smiled, and skated over to skater he fouled, and apologized for inadvertently taking him out of the race. True SPORTSMANSHIP!
