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

He loves the adrenaline rush before a game. The determination to get back in a game when losing. Learning the plays and being a leader.


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

Someone who inspires him on and off the field is his dad because he always makes sure I’m doing the right thing on and off the filed. Being able to watch a game with him and call the next play that's going to happen. Teaching him winning is easy. Learning to lose is the challenge.


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

I've watched him play football since he was 3. We've seen him play multiple positions but watching him play football in 7th grade as a QB for the first time was astonishing. Having his first undefeated season and losing in the championship game was a very proud moment. Never gave up no matter what was happening on the field.
