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

They love the sport, they getting down and dirty, they love the contact and just being outside and free. They love building a bond with their teammates and coaches & just being a kid having fun.

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

His dad inspires him on and off the field, his dad is his bestest friend. His dad is at every practice, every single game, & training him when he’s not at practice just to make sure he’s still putting that work in and not giving up.

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

That he doesn’t give up, even after breaking a tiny bone in his foot he kept going and grinding just to be back on that field and go hard. He doesn’t let anything or anyone hold him down, he strives to be the best he can be.
