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

At first he did not enjoy it but he loves competition. He likes to earn his spot in football and doesn’t like being given a role because of his name


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

He has multiple coaches around him who help teach him. But he enjoys hearing stories of my military days and how we trained while deployed. I hope it’s me


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

When he was given the starting role and he decided to take it easy, as if he was good to just show up. Once he lost it, he found out a critical part of a team sport. He needed to keep his head down and grind no matter if he started or was benched. Train no matter what
