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

He loves the thrill of the win and the excitement of the comeback. He is a quarterback for his local high school football team this year and is looking forward to the thrill of the fast paced game and finding that receiver or running back. And sometimes even taking the ball himself to get those few extra yards. He loves the contact and physicality of the developing plays.


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

He looks up to his passed coaches. When he first started football his coach was always his biggest supporter. He help developed him into the quarterback he is today and still to this day keep in touch with any help, advice or support. He comes to his games to support him and is always there when he needs his coach.


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

Last year we were first in the league for the first time in history of football in Estevan. One week before the playoffs he fell and broke his collarbone at practice but instead of giving up he showed up to every practice to help support and train the back up and showed up to every game to help on the sidelines. Between plays he pulled her aside to give her tips and work with her.
