What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreIt's fun, and it's an individual sport it also teaches him adversity, and he gets to share this time with his friends, as well as staying in shape. Track is also good for other sports as well like conditioning
He gets inspired by other athletes, Quincy wilson, Noah lyles, shacarri richardson....he looks up to me I'm a provider I feel like a bank but I try to teach and put him in the right environments to flourish
This past year at the 2026 AAU track and field meet in Jacksonville florida he came in first for 12 and under long jump, but any race that he does I'm proud I don't care if he wins lose or draw, if he tried his best that's all you can ask for.
