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

Aden loves the competition, making new friends, improving his skills, and the excitement of being on the field and playing with his team.


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

His biggest inspirations are his family and coaches. They motivate him to work hard, stay focused, and never give up, even when things get challenging. His family reminds him that success comes from dedication, discipline, and believing in himself. His coaches teach him the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, accountability, and being a good teammate. Together, they encourage him to be the best athlete and person he can be, both on and off the field.


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

One of the moments that makes me the proudest is watching him continue to push himself, even when things are challenging. Seeing his confidence grow, celebrate his teammates, and never give up reminds me that his journey is about so much more than sports. I’m proud of the athlete he is becoming, but even more proud of the hardworking, determined, and respectful young man he is becoming. 🏈💙🏆
