His favourite thing about playing sports is making new friends and pushing them to be great players. Parker is a role model in every sport he plays and strives to be a good representative for himself and his teammates. He really loves that aspect of sports because he loves seeing players get better over the course of the season. Parker also loves the hits which is why he only does contact sports like football and rugby. He’s very focused on sports and always putting it as his first priority.
His inspiration is the Baltimore ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson as Lamar’s mother made him do allot of workouts at the beach at young ages. Lamar also lost his Father and grandmother in the same day and his mother made him not let out emotions so he can be “emotionally strong” and Parker strives too be that. Lamar has been his inspiration for his entire sports career and helped him through many sports and non sport problems. Lamar Jackson is an amazing inspiration for him on and off the field.
My favourite thing about Parkers athletic journey is his sportsmanship with his teammates congratulating them after tries and touchdowns, even after turnovers or knock ons he always tries too put that fighting spirit back on the field. He also plays confidently and doesn’t let anything get him down. I’m proud of him because he’s an amazing team player and has helped his team in many ways.
