My son’s love for sports goes beyond the game—he thrives on being part of a team. He values his teammates, the friendships they build, and the lessons they learn together. Whether it’s football, basketball, or baseball, he’s always focused on improving, pushing himself to grow, and becoming the best version of himself with each season.
My son is inspired to play by the people around him—his friends, teammates, and coaches. Their support, energy, and love for the game push him to give his best every day. He looks up to his teammates for how they work hard and stick together, and his coaches for believing in him and helping him grow. Their example motivates him to play with heart, hustle, and a true team-first mindset.
What makes my son the proudest this year is his determination to pitch during his first season of player pitch. He set a goal early on, worked hard all year, and never gave up. His dedication paid off in a big way when he stepped on the mound and struck out all three batters in a single inning. That moment showed just how much heart and effort he put into reaching his dream—it made him proud, and us even prouder.
