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

He loves the competitiveness, knowing that everyone on the field is out doing their best to win. He is a team player and loves helping the younger kids by assisting them when he can. He is always the loudest on the field telling the boys where to go with the ball.


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

Nazario is inspired by his uncle and cousins. They all play baseball/ softball and they love watching each other play. Nazario gets a lot of coaching help from them, and he always talks about hitting the ball over the fence like one of them.


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

The in the park home run. He was so excited and to see him so happy was definitely worth the waiting through practices, having dirt blown on you from the fields, battling the heat, over spending at concession stands. That moment mad everything so worth it. So much so we signed up for next year lol!
