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

Well he’s stood up to his Knick name “4Real” he’s definitely the real deal.. he’s an athlete on the football field.. runs touchdowns and specializes in hitting really hard on defense.. I have to have his birth certificate on hand because he’s brining 12u contact into 8u football.. he has recently stepped up to be the teams quarterback this season at the last minute and he throwing touchdowns left and right .. he’s fast ..aggressive.. and also humble..


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

My son looks at me as his hero.. even tho he’s never seen me play.. he’s never went a day without somebody telling him how good I was and how much he reminded them of me..


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

The moment that made me the proudest was when I doubted him being dominant moving up to 8u the first year and turns out he was the best in the city.. it really made me realize that he was definitely something special..
