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

He loves the hard work and the dedication of the sport and the competition of the sport and also love the new friends that he meets along the way. He also love to help other athletes and is very unselfish. He also loves the traveling and site seeing along the way to different cities that the track meets are in.


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

His father is his biggest motivation and pushes him to his limits. His dad spent countless hours training him and teaching him from home. Also the rest of the coaches helped him improve. But most of all both of his parents are most important to him because of the time and dedication it takes for them to take him to track practices and travel to all the meets.


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

A proud moment is when he came first place in the 1500m which he worked so hard for. He was so nervous his first time running it. I told him to take a deep breath and that he is built for this and that he worked so hard for it . Then boom he got first place he was so over joy. That was a very proud moment for me.
