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

He loves to go out there and get better everyday, make his coaches proud and strive for what we wanted as a kid, to play in the big leagues one day. He loves how he can just go on the field and forget about his problems. He’s able to be himself and able to do that with some of his best friends.


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

His grandpa inspires him, the reason he is playing sports is because of his grandfather’s influence at a young age. After his grandfather passed away it really motivated him to make him proud and do everything for him. He always believed that he is smiling in heaven watching down on him as he continues to strive for greatness.


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

My proudest moment of him is how his biggest role model, his grandpa got cancer a week before his championship game, however this did not stop him. He went out and won the championship for his grandpa and played the best game he’s ever had. This made me proud because he is always able to strive through the ups and downs during sports and never let things get to his head.
