Liam loves the discipline it takes to master skills in all of his sports. He loves see his progression in the gym & on the mat even more than he loved taking command of the stage.
Liam is inspired and pushed by his older brother Luke who is a scholar athlete, his strength coach power lifter Laura Rinke, and (as an aspiring pilot) record setting pilot Captain Barrington Irving.
The proudest moment was when he PINNED his opponent in the state finals this year (only 2 years after his last dance competition) becoming a wrestling state champ. I will forever cherish the video of him running to hug his brother after his hand was raised. The training, hours of commitment, sacrifice, and self discipline paid off in those 3 minutes and 42 seconds just for him to continue to get back to work that week understanding that the journey isn’t over.
