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

Keyon loves playing football because it gives them a chance to have fun, compete, and be part of a team. He enjoys learning new skills, getting better with every practice, and challenging hisself during games. He loves the excitement of making a big play, celebrating with his teammates, and knowing that his hard work pays off. Most of all, he loves the friendships, teamwork, confidence, and memories they are building through football.


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

His biggest inspiration on and off the field is ME! His mother. She inspirs him because she works hard, supports him, and always encourages him to never give up, even when things get difficult. On the field, she reminds him to work hard, be a good teammate, stay focused, and always give his best. Off the field, she teaches him to be respectful, kind, responsible, and proud of who he is.


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

One moment that makes me the proudest is watching him step onto the football field with confidence and give it his all, even when something is challenging. Seeing how much he has grown, not just as a player but as a teammate and young man, means so much to me. I’m proud of his determination, his willingness to learn, and the way he continues to push himself. Watching him celebrate his teammates and never give up reminds me that football is teaching him lessons that will last far beyond the field
