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

RJ loves the structure and discipline sports provide, along with the outlet to release frustration in a positive way. It’s both a personal challenge to improve and a chance to be part of something bigger - a team that feels like family, working toward success together.


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

My mom is my biggest inspiration. She gave me life, believes in me, and works multiple jobs to support me. I want to go pro so I can give back to her and make her proud.


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

One of my proudest moments is seeing him light up doing what he loves - truly being RJ. He never settles, always striving to grow and be better.
