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

Wrestling is about being mentality tough. It focus on individual and team effort. Theres no excuses everything is up to you and your work and dedication.


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

He has many coaches and teammates from the various clubs and teams that he competes with. Hes had multiple different coaches from all different teams and each coach really puts in time and love and dedication to these kids and this sport. You learn different things from different coaches and it all helps. His dad was his first coach and has been by his side through every match and win every tough loss and injury.


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

Just this past summer he competed in the marine corp nation tournament for wrestling. Aka Fargo. This is the top hardest wrestling competition in the Nation. He was there for both Freedtyle and Greco styles. He celebrated his 16th birthday in training camp for this tournament and ended placing All American (which is top 8 in the nation) for Greco. He placed 4th in his age group and weight division. Something most wrestlers will never achieve
