What is Youth Athlete of the Year?

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

He loves being around his team mates he sees them as his brothers and the brotherhood that they have on the field together gives him a sense of being and a rush of adrenaline. He says it’s the same with basketball as well. He says he breathes football and basketball 😂


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

He says that he’s been expecting his dad to show up for years and he NEVER has and that is what inspires him to show up for his coach and teammates because they depend on him just like he depends on them. They all work together for the good of the team. And he says the fact that his mom takes care of him and his brothers as a single parent. She goes hard for them so he’s got to do it for her


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

Mom says what makes her the proudest is that even on days when Andre doesn’t want to practice he’ll change hours mind so fast and say never mind. I gotta be there and I look him in his face and he’s smiling and then laughing. That lets me know he’s in the right place and that makes me proud to be his mom
