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

I think he just loves the thrill of football. He loves a challenge and loves having the opportunity to play football at any given time.


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

I think my nephew inspired my son to play football overall because he was the only young man in our family at that time who played sports, so he wanted to be like him. I took him to every one of his games and when it became his turn, he became an animal on the field.


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

The one moment proudest moment that never gets old, is as I watch my boy play, I hear people in the back saying who’s that kid number 21 and I just smile. After games they come and shake my boy’s hand. I’m a proud mother believe it.
