What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreJalen loves being competitive. So, like any kid he loves to win. He enjoys being physical and he likes fast paced. His favorite sports and that he plays the most are basketball, football, flag football and soccer. He also enjoys the “brotherhood“ of it. Being on a team and being able to play alongside his friends.
His father is his biggest inspiration. His father teaches him that he has to work hard in order to be successful at whatever you choose in life. I believe that’s why Jalen works hard whether it’s school or sports. Jalen wants to make his father proud.
The moment Jalen started doing workouts on his own, is the moment I’m most proud of. That he was finally understanding that you have to put in the work to achieve your goals. Put in work outside of practice, on your own time.
