Receive Text UpdatesWhat I love most about football is catching and running the ball. One of my favorite feelings is when the quarter back throws a really good pass and I can see the ball coming through the air. Sometimes I can even hear it coming and when I catch it , it gives me a really good feeling. Then I just run as fast as I can and see how far I can go. In basketball, I love shooting and playing defense. Shooting is probably one of my favorite things ,because I like taking shot and seeing it go in. Compete!
My dad inspires me the most because he taught me my skills that I have, but he gives me my confidence. He makes me feel like I can do it. Steph Curry also inspires me to shoot. I see him shoot over guys bigger than him and it gives me the same confidence to know I can do the same.
My son helped lead his team to a championship game and winning; not with the most points but his determination and heart. I was proud to know he had the determination to stay the course. Being smaller has actually made him want it more and to work hard. Watching his teammates play big gives him the confidence to do the same. He is small but he plays BIG!!!
