More than anything, they love being part of a team. Football has taught them discipline, confidence, accountability, and the value of hard work. They enjoy pushing themselves to improve every day, encouraging their teammates, and competing with heart. The game gives them a chance to grow as both an athlete and a young leader.

His coaches and parents because they consistently encourage them to work hard, stay humble, and never give up. He also look up to Shaun Taylor who lead by example, showing that success comes from dedication, discipline, and perseverance.

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

Last year at YNC in Florida, we traveled with 14 kids. Watching him play with so much love and passion for the game made me incredibly proud. He fought through a tough battle and, although we came up short, he never gave up. He showed resilience, determination, and the heart of a true athlete.
