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

What he loves the most about playing sports is the way it brings people together. The bond with his teammates, the support they give each other, and the memories they create mean so much to him. He loves the challenge, the growth, and the feeling of being part of something bigger than himself. Win or lose, it’s about giving his best and having fun doing what he love.

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

My dad is my biggest inspiration, he introduced me to football and taught me to love the game the way he did. Watching him play and hearing his stories made me want to be just like him. My uncle also inspires me; he made it to the NFL and showed me what’s possible with passion and hard work. Together, they’ve not only shaped the player I’m becoming but also the person I strive to be. Their support and example mean everything to me.

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

One of my proudest moments as a parent was during my son's middle school playoff game. His team was down by a lot, and things weren’t looking good, but something in him just clicked. He found another level, took control of the game, and scored the first two incredible touchdown to lead his team to an unforgettable comeback win as a 6th grader. Watching his heart, determination, and leadership that day brought tears to my eyes. It was a moment I’ll never forget.
