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

I asked him this before and he says he loves hearing the ball swish through the hoop and the way shoes squeak on the floor. He is very competitive and seeks to always win and do his best. He would rather be outside playing any sports then to playing on his iPad or play station. He loves baseball, soccer, football, golf and of course his favorite is basketball ball.


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

Steph curry is his love! His dad is his coach for his teams so he is one who also inspires him, but I think the drive he has in himself is what inspires him.


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

He just got back from a tournament in Las Vegas and played against a team from China, Hawaii, Boston and New Mexico and they won all four games. It was a joy to have flown from California and to be around all these different players and see my sons team win. Out of all the games he scored the majority of the points for them and the winning basketball at the last game. It definitely was a proud mama moment.
