My son works hard. He dedicates all his time and energy to football. He is learning new skills or putting in extra work where he can.

What my son loves most about his sport is the thrill of competition and the chance to push himself to be better every day. He thrives on the challenge, always striving to win, but what truly sets him apart is his respect for the game and his opponents. His strong sense of sportsmanship—cheering others on, win or lose—shows that for him, it’s not just about victory, but about growth, teamwork, and character.
Julio Jones inspires me because of his incredible work ethic, focus, and determination on the field. He plays with intensity and never gives up on a play, no matter the score. He leads by example, stays humble, and always puts the team first. Watching him reminds me that greatness comes from hard work, discipline, and giving your best every single time—qualities I try to bring to my own game.
One moment I am proudest of my son during a moment he was not even on the field. While on the sidelines, he took the time to guide some newer players, helping them learn positions and feel confident. His selflessness, leadership, and heart for the team show true character, and these moments mean as much to me as any win.
