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

Jayel loves sports because they bring out the best in her—competition, teamwork, and success. Whether she's on the court or cheering from the sidelines, she thrives on the energy, challenge, and growth that sports provide. They’ve taught her resilience, leadership, and how to push beyond limits. Sports is a passion and a way of life that inspires her every day.


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

Jayel is inspired by her family who have succeeded in sports. Watching them work hard, stay disciplined, and reach their goals motivates her to do the same. Their dedication and love for the game showed her what’s possible with commitment and heart. They’ve set the standard, and she strives to carry that legacy forward every time she steps on the field or court.


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

The proudest moments come when Jayel shows her true character—like when she’s knocked down and targeted in a tough basketball or soccer game and gets right back up without retaliating. Her positive attitude never wavers, no matter the situation. She earns respect from teammates and opponents alike through her sportsmanship, resilience, and kindness. Her strength isn’t just physical—it’s in her spirit and how she chooses character over conflict every time.
