The thing he loves the most about playing sports is the game, the competition, keeps him shape and being able to showcase his skills.
The people that inspires me the most on and off the field is my mom and my dad. The reason why I say that is because my mother has been pushing me in everything I do to be successful. Whether it’s football ,basketball, or even my grades she always pushes me to do my best. My dad does the same thing also. He encourages me with whatever I need and he gets me stuff I need to succeed in life.For example, he signs me up for camps to showcase my talents, and get my skills noticed around the world.
One moment that made me the proudest in my son athletic career is when he had to call a coach on a team that didn't know him well and had to advocate for his self about who he was as an athlete, his skills, his positions, and him knowing the game to ensure that he was the man for the job.
