The competition and the ability to prove himself to himself. He sets a goal for himself that he makes sure he meets everyday
On the field he loved Colin Kaepernick for football and Dennis Rodman for basketball. Off the field his older "bonus" brother inspires him including himself. Those who told him no and that he couldn't do anything or be anything at a young age inspires him. His biological father not being in his life inspires him t prove that he is someone and he will become something in life.
The fact that he doesn't and haven't given up. Yes, he gets frustrated when he doesn't get it right the first time, but he goes out and tries I again until he does. His determination and ability to win and play as a team is what makes me proud of him.
