He loves the physical challenge, being part of a team, and pushing himself to be better every single day—mentally and physically.
Jax is inspired by his late father, a former NFL player, whose passion and drive left a lasting impact. After losing him 6 months ago, Jax plays with his dad in mind—honoring his legacy every time he steps on the field. He’s also driven by athletes who’ve overcome injuries, reminding him that true strength is pushing forward, no matter what.
After a major injury that required surgery and months of recovery, Jax came back stronger and more determined than ever. Watching him take the field again—focused, fearless, and leading with heart—was one of the proudest moments of my life. He proved to himself and others that nothing can break his spirit.
