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

As a grandmother, I asked that same question and he told me, "ITS the FEELING YOU HAVE AND I KNOW YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, BUT ITS THE FEELING I GET WHEN I PLAY and prepare to play!". That's when I knew the LORD had made FOOTBALL/BASEBALL his PURPOSE! Through his passion/PURPOSE, my grandson WILL SPREAD LOVE, GRACE AND the FEELING of living in YOUR PURPOSE ON EARTH!! 🙏🏽♥️


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

To be honest, his father, that's a drug addict!! He lost his way and his future in football because of the addiction!! And when we talk, he always says, "everyone makes mistakes and we can't judge them, we support and love them granny!!". He says " I know who my dad is, he just have a problem, I love my dad tho!"


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

The moment, I saw him playing football by himself, running plays by himself, I knew he was focused and determined to be the best football player he can be!!
