What is Youth Athlete of the Year?

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

What he loves most about playing his sport is the excitement of competing, being part of a team, and constantly challenging himself to improve. He enjoys the friendships he makes through sports and the feeling of accomplishment that comes from working hard and seeing his progress. Most of all, he loves being out there, having fun, and giving his best effort.


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

Cristiano Ronaldo inspires him the most. He admires Ronaldo’s determination, discipline, and the way he constantly pushes himself to be better. He loves that Ronaldo never seems satisfied with where he is and always works hard to improve, which motivates him to push himself and never give up, 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 proudest is seeing how much he has grown as an athlete and as a person. Watching him overcome challenges, stay determined, and continue to work hard even when things don’t come easily reminds me that his success is about so much more than winning. I’m most proud when I see him refuse to give up, believe in himself, and keep pushing forward.
