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

Jessica loves playing multiple sports, but her favorite is flag football. The game allows her to showcase her speed, agility, and excellent catching ability. She enjoys the excitement of running down the field and making big plays for her team. In addition to flag football, Jessica also plays basketball and enjoys staying active through a variety of sports and activities. One of her favorite things to do is help others improve their skills, whether it's teaching a teammate a new technique.

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

When asked who inspires Jessica the most, I would have to say that I do—as her father. Jessica has had the opportunity to see firsthand the dedication, hard work, and commitment that goes into running a youth sports league and creating opportunities for children to have fun, stay active, and learn valuable life lessons through flag football. She understands what it takes to wake up early on Saturday mornings, set up the fields, organize equipment, and make sure everything is ready.

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

One of the moments that makes me the proudest as Jessica's father is seeing her have fun on the field. Whether she's scoring a touchdown, making a great catch, or doing her best to pull an opponent's flag, what matters most to me is that she's giving her best effort and enjoying the game. Seeing her compete with confidence, work hard, and play with a smile on her face is incredibly rewarding. The scoreboard is secondary to the joy she experiences while being active & learning new skills.
