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

He started playing when he was in second grade and has always excelled. He went through many tough challenges but has finally got a decent grasp on the sport. He wakes up and wants to immediately get back on the lanes. Bowling has changed his life forever. He start with just an 8lb spare ball but has been using hook balls for about 2 years now. He has faced trials as fighting against league commissioners for a right to compete at state.


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

A man named Xander Ramirez who was one of his teammates for years. He has always put in the effort to get better to eventually grow stronger than Xander. He cares about his friend and he has helped him through so much in his life. He wants to go pro one day and through everything he gives God the glory.


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

When he decided to never give up because he might not be the most athletic kid and a bunch of kids got more opportunities than him because of this but he didn’t give up. He battled through adversity to earn a starting spot on the bowling team. He wasn’t seen as a great athlete and his freshman and sophomore year he wasn’t really given any respect from the other bowlers but his junior year finally earned a starting varsity spot and he has fought for every second of competition time he has gotten.
