He thrives on the challenge, finding that it not only strengthens him physically but also enhances his mental resilience.

That would be Zach’s older brother, Jedi who was a standout athlete in high school, excelling in both football and basketball. Zach fondly recalls attending his games, feeling an overwhelming sense of pride as he watched Jedi make impressive tackles and sink crucial shots. This admiration not only inspired Zach but also encouraged him to strive to be a better brother and excel in every path he chooses.

He invests his heart and soul into every position, giving it his all in each game. I truly admire his commitment and the effort he dedicates to becoming the best athlete and teammate possible.
