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

His family inspires him to be the best as he can be as they come from different backgrounds where not all of them had a simple life growing up. Looking and experiencing the hardships they have faced growing up has inspire him to appreciate the opportunities presented upon himself. It has also made him help out others the best way he can so they can one day do the same for others.


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

One of our proudest moments he traveled out the country he witnessed a child playing barefooted. He asked the child where his shoes was only for him to reply he doesn't have shoes because his family can only afford one pair to go to school and not rip them. With out a doubt he took off his shoes to play with him to then gift his shoes to him. When asked why he did that, his response was that it didn't matter because there are much more people with lesser things in life that cant say the same.
