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

Dakota loves being with a team weather it’s on a baseball field, basketball court or the football field! As long as he has a ball in his hand and friends to play with!

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

He loves so many different athletes for sure Micheal Jordan, Steph Curry and Larry Bird. But by far his biggest is his basketball and football coach! Coach Serfine.

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

Oh my I have a lot, but I would have to say when he made his first three point shot in a basketball game with his school team! I was just in shock and awe honestly and so proud!
