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

Julian loves the camaraderie that he has amongst his teammates, the value of competition that each and every game involves, and the ability to make mistakes and learn from them.


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

My son is very good at always acknowledging those who have helped him get him to where he is. He works very hard daily and trains hard at his sport. His coaches, personal trainers, and us, his parents, & family & friends all inspire him to continue working hard at his passion and bring out the best in him on and off the field.


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

Last year, on the first day of his junior year season at his current high school, I saw that he stepped aside after the team/coaches huddle before the game. I thought something was wrong with him. I noticed he had taken off his cap and his head was low. I then realized that he was praying. It touched me deeply, and I realized that his faith is such an essential part of his life, and it filled my heart. I am so proud of him.
