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

I love making new friends and seeing them each season whether on my team or on another. The thrill of learning a new skill/technique and seeing the result when my team wins is awesome. I simply love the game.


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

My parents- they are so encouraging and supportive. When I make a mistake they teach me, when my team has a bad loss they allow me to be sad but then encourage me to get back out there. No matter what they are my biggest fans and I want to do my best in return.


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

After not making the All-Star team and having 2 seasons of coaches that were not as knowledgeable, supportive, or encouraging, he worked HARD and proved himself to the league and made the All-Star team the next spring!
