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

“I love baseball because I get to slide in the dirt, hit big hits, and run like crazy! Catching pop flies feels like catching stars, and high-fives after a good play are the best! I get to hang out with my friends, eat snacks in the dugout, and have fun every game. Baseball is my favorite kind of awesome!”


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

My baby sister Vanna inspires me every day. She has Down Syndrome, but that doesn’t stop her from being my biggest fan. When I hear her yell ‘Bubba!’ from the fence, it means everything to me. Her smile, her joy, and her love make me feel brave, even on my hardest days. I play for her.


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

One moment that makes me proud is seeing how he wears his heart on his sleeve—always more worried about his friends being part of the game than winning. He cheers the loudest for others, includes everyone, and reminds me that kindness is the biggest victory of all.
