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

What I love most about playing football is the adrenaline and excitement that comes with every game. I love the energy of being on the field, competing, making plays, and pushing myself to the limit. The feeling of working hard with my teammates toward a common goal is something I enjoy. Football challenges me, keeps me focused, and gives me an excitement that motivates me to keep getting better.

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

The person who inspires me most is myself. I know that may sound different, but I push myself to become better every day. Football has taught me discipline, hard work, and how to keep going when things get difficult. I challenge myself to improve on and off the field, be a better teammate, student, son, and person. My biggest motivation comes from knowing I can always become a better version of myself.

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

The moment that makes me proudest is seeing the leadership, respect, and heart my son shows for his team. He leads by example, encourages his teammates, and never gives up on them. Whether he is on the field making a big play or simply lifting up a teammate, he shows what true leadership means. His willingness to put his team first, work hard, and treat everyone with respect makes me incredibly proud of the young man and athlete he is becoming.
