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

Rocco loves to take mistakes and learn from them to get better- he is always practicing and wanting to improve.

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

his dad- his dad is who he looks up to and wants to be like. He has worked with him since he was 3 years old and never misses a practice or game.

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

When he pitched and hurt a kid, he went up to him to make sure he was ok and genuinely felt terrible. His compassion doesn’t discriminate.
