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

Scoring touchdowns & learning and growing together with my teammates. He’s played with the same friends since he was 8. So for the past 4 years they have built a bond and learned new skills together and it shows on the field . Landen knows that he is looked at as a leader on the team as the star wide receiver on his team & he takes pride in that. His coaches pour into him to help build his skills and he always takes any criticism and uses that to build on and become better


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

Odell Beckham jr, Justin Jefferson . The leadership that they show for their team and how they know it’s a team effort & it takes everyone to play their position so the team does well.


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

The first year my son played on the 8u team for the Lombard falcons he made 100 yard touchdown from being on the defensive side , they were in the touch down zone for the other team. The ball got tipped and he was there to catch it. As he ran his blockers did their job so he could get the touchdown. Everyone was cheering so loud I was running along side the field. That video of him scoring that 100 yard touchdown can be googled and everyone then and even now says that play should be on espn .
