What I love most about football, soccer, and flag football is meeting new teammates. Every season brings a fresh team, and I enjoy connecting with new faces, learning how they play, and growing together. It’s not just about the game—it’s about building chemistry, improving as a team, and having fun while doing it.
The people who inspire me on and off the field are my parents—and also myself. I get my mom’s athleticism and my dad’s competitive drive, which push me to make them proud and give my all. At the same time, I’m motivated by my own desire to grow and be the best version of myself every day. That inner drive and the example set by my parents inspire me to keep working hard and striving for greatness in everything I do.
One moment that made me the proudest was when Jacob jammed his finger but still chose to play in his championship game. He pushed through the pain, stayed focused, and gave it his all. His toughness, dedication, and heart in that moment showed true strength and commitment. It reminded me what it means to never give up, even when things get hard. That moment will always stick with me.
