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

He loves everything about football—the competition, teamwork, learning new skills, and pushing himself to become better every time he steps on the field. He plays with so much heart and energy and truly loves the game. Whether it’s practice or game day, he gives his all. He loves being part of a team, supporting his teammates, and showing that hard work, confidence, and determination can take you far.


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

His family and coaches inspire him the most. His coaches continue to push him, believe in his abilities, and teach him that being a great athlete is about more than talent—it takes discipline, respect, teamwork, and hard work. His family is always there cheering him on and reminding him to never give up. He wants to make everyone proud, but most importantly, he continues to challenge himself to be better than he was yesterday.


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

One of my proudest moments was watching him earn MVP and seeing all of his hard work pay off. As his mom, I’ve watched him push through difficult moments, stay competitive, and refuse to give up. He made it all the way to the championship and continued giving everything he had. Seeing his confidence grow and watching him become not only a better football player but a great teammate makes me incredibly proud. He truly loves this sport and deserves to be recognized.
