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

Jackson loves practicing. Whatever sport he is playing, he works hard and loves to learn the game. He is always putting in the time and extra effort to be the best and it showed greatly this year in all 3 sports he played. He loves his teammates and being a good sport! He does the little things, that stick out and make people say, he’s fun to watch.


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

Jackson looks up to his mother. He know she played college softball and put in all the effort to be a really good player. We discuss Jesus a lot and that all of our gifts come from him. Jackson also looks up to his dad bc dad is in law enforcement.


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

Well, Jackson is 7 years old. He got asked to play in a game in 9U. Kid pitch, which he had never done. He told me he was nervous to play and hit. Well, the first time he ever got up to hit the ball. He hit his first pitch and it was a home run. I sometimes play the video back bc it was a pretty awesome moment.
