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

I love playin football linebacker because I get to make big tackles and stop people from scoring. It feels awesome when I hit hard and help my team. I like being the one who helps call out plays and tells my teammates where to go. It’s fun trying to guess if it’s a run or a pass and moving fast to make a play. Playing linebacker makes me feel strong and tough. I also love the energy everyone yelling, cheering, and celebrating when we do something good. And the best part is being with my team


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

My mom inspires me on and off the field because she always pushes me to do my best, no matter what. She’s my biggest cheerleader, always at my games, yelling my name and telling me she’s proud. When I mess up, she doesn’t get mad she tells me to keep my head up and try again. Off the field, she works hard and never gives up, even when things are tough. She teaches me how to be strong, kind, and focused. Watching her handle everything makes me want to be better, not just in football, but in life.


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

One moment that makes me proud along my son’s football journey was watching him get up after a hard hit and keep playing with heart. He didn’t cry or give up he shook it off and got back in position like a true fighter. In that moment, I didn’t just see a young boy playing a game I saw growth, strength, and determination. Football is more than just a sport for him, and seeing his passion and how he handles both wins and losses makes me proud every single day.
