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

Working towards being the best he can in sports.


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

Inspiration came from his grandpa and trainer Perci. Grandpa is a Kansas City Chiefs Fan for life! Since Kalvin was small he instilled in Kalvin being a sports fanatic. Perci who has trained Kalvin noticed potential and has pushed Kalvin to be his best. Perci saw that Kalvin was wearing the #58. That was Perci's number in his college years and Derrick Thomas. He told Kalvin #58 is a special number he better work hard to wear that number.


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

When he was in middle school, Kalvin was a defense linemen and somehow he was at the right place at the right time and the ball was the other teams. Kalvin caught it and his team members told him to run and he ran. Didn't get the points but I saw what he could do at that moment.
