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

Playing sports is more than just about the game. I enjoy building bonds with my teammates. In the past 5 years I have made countless friendships and memories with people I never knew. I also get an amazing feeling for making important impact plays during games. I’ve built leadership skills over the past years due to sports and because of that I stood out on my football team and I was invited to play on a 7on7 team from an opposing coach. Team HellStar put pressure on my potential…

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

older brother. He’s been through adversity and showed me that I can do anything I want I just have to work for it. He overcame a lot of the adversity by being resilient through his journey with epilepsy. He returned to the football field after being cleared by his neurologist. Now he is going to a University in Texas to become a nurse. It’s that type of Mentality that makes believe I can see anything through.

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

My proudest moment was playing up multiple divisions during a 7on7 season 4years ago. I was 9 playing on a 12u team. It made me focus on my mental strength and really have a mentality of learning and making every play count. It forced me to become master of my emotions because I didn’t always get the ball and it truly helped me become a team player and leader going into my next tackle season.
