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

Derrick love football for the strong bonds they build and the intense athletic challenge of the game.


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

Derrick’s inspiration came from him watching me watch football and the thrill I get from it. His idle Alvin Kamara is another reason he is all in the game and play his best when he’s on the field.


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

My proudest moment in his athletic journey is when he over comes adversity, showing resilience, being a team player, demonstrating leadership, integrity and respect.
