Thank you for supporting Jordan in this competition. Your participation made a huge impact for the Why Not You Foundation and their mission to empower change in the world, one individual at a time and one child at a time.

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

He enjoys how the sport not only build his character but shows him discipline in growth. You must train to get to the goals that you are wanting to meet because nothing is handed over to you.

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

His inspiration is his father. Nero grew up watching his father do his very best for the family.

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

In Nero’s athletic journey that makes me the proudest is the fact that even with his heart condition he never gives up. He knows that he struggles more than the average kid next to him and that one makes me proud to see that he will go and give 100% effort no matter what.
