What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreWhat I like most about playing sports is competing with my teammates, working together toward the same goal, and celebrating when all our hard work pays off.
My teammates inspire me the most. Seeing them work hard pushes me to work harder, and knowing they’re counting on me makes me want to give my best every time I step on the field. We challenge each other, pick each other up after mistakes, and celebrate the wins together. They remind me that sports aren’t just about being the best player—it’s about becoming better together.
I’m proud of how he conducts himself through this journey. You aren’t always on the team you want to be on or have the best coach or best game, but he always trusts in the process and his path and makes good choices along the way. I’m proud of his attitude and how he works through things that aren’t always perfect. Sports is more than a field and a ball, and Daniel realizes that how you integrate something you love into your life is a delicate balance that he does so effortlessly.
