What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreWhat he loves the most about football is being part of a team and knowing all his teammates are working towards the same goal. He likes pushing himself to get stronger and learning from his coaches and teammates. Football has taught him discipline, confidence, and how to keep going when things get hard.
My older brother inspires me the most. Watching him play football throughout his high school year and watching him go through heart failure and live with an LVAD showed me what real strength looks like. Even when things are hard, he keeps fighting. He reminds me not to take my health or opportunities for granted and to always give my best when I step onto the field.
One moment I am proud of is continuing to show up and work hard at football while my family is going through my older brother’s heart failure and LVAD journey. It was hard to stay focused when I was worried about him, but I keep training and being there for my team. It shows me that I can keep going even during hard times.
