What is Youth Athlete of the Year?

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

What he loves most about sports is the competition the challenge, and always pushing himself to get better. He loves being part of a team, competing with my teammates, and sharing the big moments together. He loves the adrenaline of competition and having the chance to step up when it matters. He’s been playing since he was three, and sports have given him friendships, memories, travel, and experiences He will never forget. Most of all, he loves the game and always having another goal to chase.


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

I’d say his biggest inspiration is his family, especially me and his dad, along with the athletes and coaches who push him to become better. He seems motivated by people who work hard, stay disciplined, and never give up.


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

What makes me the proudest is watching the person my son has become through his journey. I’m proud of how hard he works, how he continues to push himself, and how he never stops chasing his goals. From starting sports at three years old to competing at a high level today, I’ve watched him grow through the wins, losses, challenges, and countless hours of work. More than any award or achievement, I’m proud of his dedication, character, and the way he keeps pushing forward.
