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

Playing baseball for Gabriel has been a great way to help him with the focus he needs to deal with his ADHD and Bipolar disorder, all while making friends that love the game as much as he does.


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

His Dad and Papa inspire Gabriel to be the best version of himself, having both played ball growing up it's a way for them all to bond and it allows them to show Gabriel that he doesn't have to always hit the ball that it's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from it and you are always putting the best effort into playing that includes the best attitude as well. Coach Jordan Lanier has made a great impact on Gabriel's life as a player also


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

Everyday that Gabriel steps foot on the field an gives his best I'm proud, but this past year Gabriel was put in the catcher position for the 1st time and he worked so hard, he made amazing catches and he gave so much so he didn't let his team down, I was so proud of his adaptation to a new position!
