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

He loves to be able to play with friends and looks forward to making new friends. He's very shy and anxious at first but once he opens up he's usually able to make lots of friends. He's traveled all over the State of Indiana playing different sports.


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

He was a Kobe fan but here lately he's a die hard LeBron James fan. Even named his pet fish after him. Also his coach Omar Daniel's whom he loves and coach always encourages him to do his Best on and off the field.


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

I signed him up for football. Just getting him to wear the helmet was a struggle at first and let's not talk about the pads. His coaches didn't give up and I paid my money already so quitting wasn't an option. They continued to work with him and encourage him. By the first game he was starting and actually out there putting in work! I LOVE watching him grow and get better at a sport.
