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

He loves football for the recognition, the chance to stay in shape, and the exposure to new people and families. He also enjoys the travel that comes with the game, but more than anything, it’s the sense of connection and community that he gets out of it.


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

My big brother his uncle Roger who introduced him to the game at 5 Me for not missing one game unless he was playing out of state and I had to work And his grandparents I had him at 18 so my parents have been a big support system since his first arrival


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

Seeing our team travel back to Miami to win the state championship at 12 years old . It was so monumental because we lost the year before and was sent home early and we came back to redeem ourselves and they worked very hard in overtime. It was well deserving.
