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

Soccer has always come so naturally to Jonah, it’s like he was made for it. He plays right defender and right wing for Fresno FC Academy, and when he’s on the field, you can just see how in tune he is with the game. He doesn’t have to think too hard, it just clicks. It’s more than a sport to him; it’s something that lives inside him. Watching him play, there’s no doubt it’s his passion.


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

Jonah looks up to Lamine Yamal because he sees himself in him, a young player proving he belongs. Lamine made history at just 16, not just with talent, but with confidence, hard work, and heart. He came in as the youngest and still made a huge impact. That inspires Jonah to keep pushing, even when he’s the underdog. Lamine shows that age doesn’t matter when you believe in yourself and play with purpose.


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

It was one of Jonah’s first tournaments after joining club it was the Manchester City Cup, San Diego, July 2024. He wasn’t a starter and came in as an underdog. In the semifinal, the team was down by three and couldn’t get it together. Jonah subbed in halfway through the second half and scored within two minutes. He rallied the team, lifted their energy, and they only lost by one. That moment proved he belonged. It was inspiring to watch!
