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

Jackson loves the sport plus the connection it maintains between his dad and him. Jackson's dad sadly passed away in Dec 2021. After losing his dad, Jackson's dedication became stronger. He honors his dad by wearing his baseball number. Like Jackson would say he's living a real life Angels in the outfield


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

Jackson would say his grandparents, who are raising him, are his greatest supporters. They attend every game and practice, consistently encouraging him to reach his full potential both on and off the field.


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

Being nominated for the MVP in his football weight class in his first year of playing, he demonstrated more drive than the coaches had seen in a while. He didn't win but it definitely help keep him humble.
