Jason

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

Jason lives for soccer. It's more than a game; it's where he feels alive. He loves the rush of the tackle, and likes to scan the field to determine the strategy of the pass, and is thrilled by the joy of scoring or assisting his team to score a goal. But what truly fuels his passion is the camaraderie – the way his team works as one, celebrating victories and learning from losses together. Soccer teaches him discipline, resilience, and teamwork, lessons he carries beyond the field. He dreams big

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

Jason finds inspiration in Cristiano Ronaldo, David Pastrňák and his hardworking parents who take him to practices, games and tournaments and who support his passion for soccer and hockey. It's not just the professional players' incredible skills and ball/puck mastery that captivate him, but also their humility, sportsmanship and charitable community work. He admires how the players handle pressure, consistently perform at the highest level, and remain a team player.

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

My proudest moment watching Jason wasn't when he won his games, it was at a soccer tournament where his summer soccer team lost the games and they played them back to back without any break. He rose to the occasion by showing determination, encouraging his teammates to not give up, providing suggestions on what to do to help their strategy and to push through fatigue.
