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

He loves playing sports because it affords him the opportunity to escape what has been a difficult childhood; Legion doesn’t have a mom or dad at home. His foster family is doing their best but sports allows Legion a temporary reprieve from what is otherwise a challenging situation.


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

His grandparents and his incarcerated father are Legion’s biggest supporters. He is very easy to support based on his attitude and effort.


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

The fact that Legion not only competes, but he gives his all to be first in every drill. His coaches never need to motivate him or make him hustle. Legion is a coach’s dream and every coach comments on Legion’s efforts and his willingness to help others. He is small but he plays like a team leader.
