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

What I love most about playing football is being able to express myself on the field. I get to be competitive, work hard, and show what I can do. I love being part of a team, making plays, and giving my best every time I step on the field.


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

My dad inspires me on and off the field because he was really good at football, and he is the one who taught me how to play. He has taught me a lot about football, but also about working hard, listening, and never giving up. I want to make him proud.


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

One moment that made me proud was when my team lost in the playoffs. Even though we didn’t win, it taught me that you can work hard and make it really far, but sometimes things don’t go your way. It showed me that losing is part of football, and what matters is learning from it and coming back stronger.
