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

Regarding my enjoyment of playing hockey and basketball, the aspect I appreciate most is the collaborative environment of being part of a team. I find satisfaction in the competitive nature of these sports, the opportunity to enhance my abilities, and the experience of working in unison with my teammates. Additionally, I value the thrill of game competition and the sense of shared achievement that comes from collective effort that's why I enjoy playing these sports.

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

I’m inspired by my teammates, coaches, family, and professional athletes. They motivate me to work hard, keep improving, and never give up when things get difficult. I especially look up to people who stay dedicated and support others both on and off the court.

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

Moved to a brand new city far away. He trained all summer to tryout for rep. Got hurt really bad in tryouts. He was so positive and resilient during his recovery. Came back a couple months later and was made captain of his new team. Won a tourney. Led by example and acted like a true leader. Worked on every aspect of his game. All while playing competitive basketball too! Positive attitude.
