My kid beat the odds with his growth delay but always comes out on top. MVP for both sports. He doesn’t let his lack of size stop anything.

He loves sports because it keeps him competitive. He loves any and everything that gives him competition. It pushes him to surpass his personal goals and make new ones. It clears his mind from other things that's going on around him or in his life at the moment. Playing sports is when he's the happiest. Especially when he's on the field or court with his friends. He loves that he has a high IQ in the sports which helps him perform at his best with growth and discipline.
Justin Jefferson inspires him. Justin was also a short kid coming into high school and always had ankle problems. They tried to change his position but he showed them that he could play his true position despite his size. Being that he is also on the smaller side he has hope and faith that his size will never be an issue with his future in sports. Which has already been noticed, because many coaches comes up to him after games fascinated with his skills despite his size.
One of my proudest moments in his athletic journey was the 1st year he played tackle football. The very first day of dressing out in full pads his leg was broken at practice. Although he was in pain he still got up and attempted to practice, but he couldn't even walk. He had to sit out the whole 1st season. However he still went to every practice and every game to cheer his teammates on from his wheelchair.
