Playing football for Garfield Heights, and what Sam loves the most about it is the brotherhood and the grind. Being out there with his teammates, pushing each other to get better every day — there’s nothing like it. The energy under the lights on game day, the hits, the competition, the pride of representing his school — that’s what keeps him coming back. Football teaches him discipline, toughness, and how to keep going no matter what. I love the game.
Per Sam….”My mom and dad inspire me the most, on and off the field. They’ve always had my back, no matter what. They work hard, never complain, and have taught me what it means to stay focused, stay humble, and never give up. Whether it’s showing up to my games, giving me advice, or pushing me to be better — they’re always there. I play this game not just for me, but for them, because I want to make them proud and give back for everything they’ve done for me. “ Who best to say it but SAM!
One moment in my son’s athletic journey that makes me the proudest was seeing my son play his first High School game on Varsity as a freshman. That was a big moment for not just me but for him! Earning that spot at a young age (14) and proving he could compete with older players speaks volume and character! I feel he is even more focused on showing his team and Coaches what he can bring to the team and proving that he is ready to lead, learn, and take his game to the next level.
