Noah

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

I love scoring goals and dribbling past defenders. It's awesome when I can make a perfect pass to set up my teammate. Plus, celebrating with my team after a win is the best feeling. Flag football: Catching a long pass and running for a touchdown is so much fun! I like how fast-paced the game is, and I get to use my speed. It's also really cool to come up with a game plan with my teammates."

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

On the field, Noah draws inspiration from his mom's unwavering support and encouragement. He knows she's always there cheering him on, rain or shine, and that motivates him to push harder and never give up. Off the field, his family inspires him to be the best version of himself. Their values of hard work, kindness, and perseverance shape his own aspirations and guide him towards becoming a well-rounded individual.

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

As Noah's mother, my proudest moment wasn't a specific trophy or accolade, but rather witnessing his unwavering kindness and empathy towards others. It was the time he noticed a teammate struggling on the sidelines and, instead of celebrating his own success, went over to offer encouragement and support. That moment, more than any victory on the field, revealed the depth of his character and the values he embraces. It showed me that he understands true sportsmanship!
