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

when Michael is dialed in and his team is firing and all cylinders, that’s when he and his teammates are having the most fun. He he loves to lead his team to victory or to lead the charge to a comeback. He is a consummate team player, but he loves to take charge of the game.


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

I like all young athletes Michael follows and idolizes the goats in his sport, Ronaldo, Messi, but as a proud parent, I wanna believe that his older siblings inspire him, he is the youngest of our brood. All of our children are competitive athletes, and I believe they support and inspiring each other.


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

Michael’s team was down by a goal, late in the game playing against the bigger team. He stayed positive, he took possession of a fantastic across, and headed towards the goal, as the goalie who was a much larger boy came out to tackle Michael and he chipped the ball over the goalie shoulder and collided with the goalie. He did a flip and midair and landed on his shoulder and his neck., He laid there for a moment, then got his feet, turned to his teammates and yelled “let’s go”.
