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

It varies between each sport. Wrestling it’s about personal growth and improvement. Basketball is about teamwork and sportsmanship. Cross Country is about PR and also improving each race. Native Youth Olympics is about PR as well.


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

He has a really amazing relationship with each of his coaches and looks up to them. They all inspire him to reach his personal goals and team goals as well.


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

There are so many moments that make me so proud of him but I would say the most recent was placing 5th this past year at State Wrestling in season with injury and it being his second year qualifying for state.
