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

In 2025, my son played tackle football for the first time. At first, I was nervous about letting him play because of the physical nature of the sport. It turned out to be an amazing experience. He loved his teammates, coaches, and the support from all the parents cheering them on. He worked hard, learnedabout teamworkanddedication, andmadewonderfulmemories.
