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

Raylan loves learning techniques at practice and being able to apply them in tournaments. He also loves competing against kids and becoming friends with them afterwards, win or lose.


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

His parents because they also train, compete and coach him. They also take him to Tournaments all around the country and make fun trips out them.


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

Two moments. 1- he went against a kid who did not have nearly as much experience and the promotion should never have matched them up. Instead of him just going out there and ending it fast he let the little boy take him down and work some technique before finally ending it. 2- he lost to a girl to a “flying armbar” and in his next match he went out there and attempted to do the same move. Shows his ability to learn from his failures.
