Reece loves most about playing football, that he gets a chance to create lifelong friendships and learning new skills that he gets to use on and off the field.
Reece inspiration comes from his late uncle who played the sport. He gave him very important advice and was a constant reminder of what perseverance looks like. His uncle always reminded Reece that no matter what, make good choices and be a positive leader. How you treat people in life will always be remembered, go the extra mile and do your best but nothing comes before God, with him…ALL things are possible!
The proudest moment that I can recall is when Reece made the winning play in the game. He wanted to celebrate with everyone, even the opposing team! He told me as he was coming off the field “mommy, that was a hard game but we ALL won because we left everything we had on that field!” He uplifted everyone he passed.
