My son was out of football just up until 2 years ago due to seizures. He now puts in hard work on and off the field. I’m also his coach.

What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreWhat he loves the most about playing the sport and I quote, “my dad being my coach because I learned a lot from him”. “Him teaching me new things and new skills to playing football, like getting low with my head high when making a tackle”. “The more I train the better I get and my dad is there next to me”
“The person that inspires me on and off the field is my dad which is my coach”. “The reason why is because my dad played football as well as arena football”. “He inspires me by telling me I am better at the sport then he was when he played as a kid and that inspires me a lot”
One moment in his athletic journey that makes me proudest is him making mistakes and getting upset. After he calms down looking me and my eyes and saying “daddy I’ll do better next time and do my best I can”.
