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

My proudest moment was seeing Milan earn his first touchdown after seasons of grinding. People don’t see the extra reps after school or the early weekend mornings, but I do — and seeing that dedication turn him into the player he is today has been amazing.
