AJ has alot of coaches that helped inspire him. Kendrick Carmouche and Antonio Gallardo, Uncle Patrick Husbands. Their determination and work ethic in their sport inspired him to keep going and striving for greatness.
My proudest moment was when one of his coaches jumped into the pool hugged him and they had a moment b4 his final test. He went and he swim 4 lengths of the pool without stopping. He was struggling with his asthma and tired but you could see his determination. All the coaches stopped to wait to see if he did it. The coaches came up to him at the end and high fived him! The roar of the building was amazing! He did it ! My boy did it! After all the hospital visit!!!
