What is Youth Athlete of the Year?

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

I love being with my teammates and working in practice to help as much as possible when game time comes. Playing basketball, football, weightlifting and baseball is fun because I'm always working on something.


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

My Dad inspires me because he gives me pep talks and he knows a lot from his coaching and when he did sports. He takes me and my teammates to lift and coaches all of us even though he doesn't have to.


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

My most proud moment was when I won medals at my meets like Best Lifter at Fond Du Lac meet, getting a State Record for my age/weight class, and qualifying for USAW Nationals. I also am proud for blocking for my teammates in my football games. It means a lot because I practice when I know other kids don't and I get to see how much it helps in games when I do good or in weightlifting meets when I beat older kids. Having one of the highest totals for my age in USA Weightlifting shows my hard work.
