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

Deuce loves being with his teammates and coaches. He loves learning the game and applying what he's learned to make himself a better athlete both on and off the field.


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

My dad. He inspires me to be a better person and athlete. He's taught me lessons both on and off the field, like patience when it comes to learning new things, integrity when it comes to being honest with myself and my team about my efforts. He's shown me that I can improve in anything I do as long as I give it my all. He supports me even when I don't feel my best and I think that's part of being on a team, cheering them on even when a play doesn't go as planned.


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

His first year of tackle football. We switched teams before the season started and the former team did not drop him from their roster until it was past the deadline. Despite knowing he would not be able to play, he showed up to every practice and every game for his new team to cheer them on. He celebrated the wins and held his team up during the losses.
