Rilen

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

Rilen loves the thrill and teamwork that come with playing both baseball and football. In baseball, he enjoys the focus it takes to step up to the plate and the satisfaction of making a great play in the field. Football, on the other hand, excites him with its fast pace and the energy of working together with his teammates to move the ball and score. What he loves most is the challenge, the friendships, and the fun of always pushing himself to get better.

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

Rilen is inspired by his parents both on and off the field. They show him the importance of hard work, dedication, and staying positive no matter the challenge. Whether they’re cheering from the sidelines, helping him practice, or encouraging him after a tough game, their support means everything to him. Their example motivates Rilen to give his best effort in sports and in life.

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

What we’re most proud of in Rilen is his incredible sportsmanship. No matter the outcome of the game, he always shows respect—to his coaches, teammates, and even players on the other team. He stays calm under pressure, continues to grow each season, and never forgets the importance of kindness and encouragement. Watching him go out of his way to congratulate others and lift people up makes us prouder than any win ever could.
