He loves the self-improvement that football leaves on him through teamwork and leadership. He finds his sport genuinely fun and joyful and cherishes the feeling winning.
He really looks up to his father and NFL quarterbacks. His father encourages him through personal experiences and a once shared dream of the NFL. Quarterbacks are his role models to his future of life and football. Professional quarterbacks are always calm, composed, and poise once in tough situations, all role model material. He looks up to the luxury and ascendance of the game quarterbacks go through.
The moment that has made me the proudest so far in his play is noticing that he is analyzing his opponent. He not only studies tendencies in them, he also adapts. There was a flag football game to where the coach, me, wasn't seeing what he was. The coach allowed him to call a couple plays based on what he saw. Off of his concept we were able to when multiple games.
