What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreHe loves the physicality of sports and the opportunity to stay active while constantly challenging himself to improve. He especially enjoys being part of a team, working together toward a common goal, and celebrating with his teammates when their hard work pays off. For him, sharing those accomplishments and memorable moments with his team is one of the most rewarding parts of competing.
His dad is one of his biggest inspirations, both on and off the field. Having played soccer himself, his dad passed down his love for the game and inspired him to work hard and play with the same passion. They are also learning golf together, where he looks to his dad as an example of how to stay patient, focused, and positive through the mental challenges of the game.
One of the proudest moments of his athletic journey came when his soccer team tied an opponent 2-2 after losing to that same team 4-0 the year before. The result was about more than the final score. It showed how much he and his teammates had grown through a year of hard work, practice, and determination. Seeing that improvement come together on the field made the moment especially meaningful.
