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

Leadership and accountability.

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

God is the main inspiration because his faith is what brought him this far. From foster care to being adopted. From struggling with behavioral problems to being a A & B student. It’s God who has help this young man and continues to inspire him.

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

One moment was when he had a chance to make a dumb decision but I witnessed him choose the right path when he considered his freedom and family.
