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

that feeling of flying through the air and throwing it down gives him the biggest rush." Or keep it short and bold: "He loves dunking — plain and simple. It’s the thrill, the power, and the reaction every time."


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

His mother—me. I inspire him to be his best both on and off the court. I don’t pressure him about the game; instead, I’m teaching him to enjoy it. Because when you truly love what you do, it never feels like a job or a requirement—you can play this sport forever with joy.


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

One of the proudest moments in their athletic journey was when they bounced back after a tough loss in Shervrport vs Woss HS. Instead of getting discouraged, they showed maturity, held their head high, and went right back to work—training harder, supporting teammates, and staying focused. That resilience and leadership in the face of disappointment showed me they’re not just growing as an athlete, but as a person. That’s what made me proudest.
