What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreHe loves football because it challenges him to push himself, learn, improve, and earn his place. His biggest passion is playing quarterback. What started as a sport he knew nothing about has become something he works incredibly hard at and refuses to give up on. Football has taught him discipline, confidence, teamwork, and perseverance
His biggest inspiration is his family, especially his mom, who has been his rock and support system throughout his journey. I have watched him start from the bottom, learn the game, face challenges, and keep pushing forward. His coaches and teammates also inspire him to become better every day.
I am proudest watching him earn the QB spot after starting with no knowledge of the sport. Seeing him work for that opportunity, never give up, and then enter high school as a freshman already playing JV is something I will always be proud of. His journey shows what hard work and determination can accomplish.
