Playing sports is where I’ve made lifelong friends and unforgettable memories. What I love most is the brotherhood we’ve built and the support I get from my family every step of the way. Whether it’s a practice or a big game, I always have the loudest fans in the stands. Win or lose, I can turn to the crowd and see them cheering me on. That means everything.
My biggest inspirations are my family. My dad is not only my coach but also my mentor and role model. My grandpa always knows what to say to calm my nerves before a game and is the loudest voice in the stands. My grandma brings the energy and starts all the cheers. My mom is the behind-the-scenes MVP. She films every game, supports us quietly but fiercely, and even calls out plays from the sidelines when she thinks we need a boost. They each inspire me in their own way.
My proudest moments are when I’m able to come through for my team during big plays like making touchdown passes. But more than that, I’m proud of how we stay strong and united no matter what. Whether we win or lose, we always play with heart and have each other’s backs.
