It’s more than just a game to him, it’s his passion. He loves the discipline, the challenge, and the feeling of being part of a team that pushes each other to be better every day. Football gives him confidence, teaches him resilience, and brings him joy. Whether it’s a win or a loss, he always walks away learning something new, and that’s what drives him to keep playing.
The person who inspires him most is his dad. He’s seen him work hard, build a business from nothing, and succeed through determination and smarts. That example taught him to stay humble, work hard, and let actions speak louder than words. On and off the field, he tries to carry those same values strength, focus, and never giving up, no matter how tough things get.
One of the moments I am most proud of was after a tough game when coaches from the opposing team sent messages saying how impressed they were with his performance. He’s not the kind of player who looks for praise he just does his job with strength and focus. But hearing that kind of respect from people who really know the game meant a lot. Its a reminder that even when you’re not in the spotlight, your effort is always noticed.
