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

He loves the thrill of playing hard for the game of basketball. Nathan also loves to go through the obstacles of what it takes to become better at basketball and to persevere.

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

The people who inspire Nathan are his parents, and NBA players like Giannis, Russell Westbrook, and Michael Jordan, both on and off the court.

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

When his school coach stereotyped him, and said that he was built like a footballer and not a basketballer. Nathan took it as a challenge and proved to him that he could be a basketball player. He didn't take it personally.
