He loves the feeling of being part of a team and the excitement of competing. He loves pushing himself to be better every game and giving his all for his teammates. Scoring touchdowns and making big plays is fun, but what he really loves is the friendships he’s made, the lessons he’s learned, and the joy of working hard for something he loves.He enjoys the challenge, the energy, and the chance to show what he can do, but most of all, he loves that sports make him feel confident, happy, and proud
He’s inspired by his coaches, who push him to work hard and believe in himself, and by his family, who support him at every game and remind him to stay humble and kind. On the field, he looks up to pro players who play with heart and never quit. Off the field, he’s motivated by his mom and dad, who teach him to respect others, work for what he wants, and always give back. They all inspire him to be the best player and person he can be.
One moment that makes me proudest is when he led his team to win a tough championship game by scoring multiple touchdowns and lifting everyone’s spirits. Even when the team was behind, he stayed positive, encouraged his teammates, and gave it his all until the last whistle. Seeing him lead with heart, teamwork, and respect in such a big moment showed me just how special he truly is.
