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

Soccer challenges me to be my best, both physically and as a leader. As OPDL team captain, I lead by example, train hard, and support my teammates. The bond we share means everything. Soccer isn’t just a sport to me. It’s my passion, my outlet, and where I’ve learned discipline, teamwork, and resilience. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and excited for what’s next.


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

I’m inspired by my parents because they show me what hard work and dedication really look like. They always support me and keep me grounded. On the field, I look up to the older players in OPDL. Watching how they train, lead, and handle pressure pushes me to grow, stay disciplined, and give my best every time I play.


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

One moment I’m most proud of was being asked to try out for the Ontario Provincial Team and being the only one selected from my age group. It felt amazing to see my hard work pay off and to represent my region. That experience pushed me to keep training harder and believing in myself.
