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

Johansson loves playing baseball because it’s one of the few sports that he can play out here on the Navajo Nation. He also loves it because he’s very passionate about playing in different games and meeting new people along the way.


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

Johanson is inspired by different people but he said he’s inspired by Will Smith the catcher from the dodgers because even though he stated off with a bad season he always bounces back to make his season good again and that’s what inspires Johanson to be the best that he possibly can.


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

One athletic moment in Johnson's journey that makes me the proudest is too see how far Johanson has came from when he first started playing. I am also very proud of Johanson because when he on and off the field he always shows good sportsmanship to his fellow teammates and other people from other teams.
