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

Myself being dad and that’s because I push him to his limit then I also allow him to get rewarded win or lose and he tells me everytime they lose which isn’t much but dad we need to practice harder this week then he also looks up to his cousin in which is playing at the high school level and is always working with him on drills and fundamentals
