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

Friendly competition is a key for enjoyment. Winning is important, but not the most important thing.


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

On the field Michael Phelps inspires him a lot. Because he is the most decorated Olympian ever. He has 33 World Championship Medals. Alongside this accomplishments, he openly discusses this struggles with depression and anxiety.


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

In one very important competition he was almost winning. His friend’s boat turned upside down. He stopped his boat and jumped into water to help to his friend without any hesitation. He didn’t finish that race, but for me he was the winner.
