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

He probably would never admit this, but I think it’s being part of a team…. Waylon has hdhd, and he has trouble making friends….. but football is a real confidence booster for him


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

Definitely his new coaches…..he has only played two of little loop football but his first year he got most improved….now he is on Lackawanna /modified/varsity football team….. his coaches have allready completely changed his attitude towards life in general. Waylon never had friends or family to play football with growing up….but know his coaches seem excited that he may develop into a real solid player….even said they will get him exposed to colleges.


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

First you have to understand Waylon has adhd and behavioral issues… he always hated school…. Now that’s he’s playing with his new coaches, he has asked me ( his mom is my fiancé and I’m a substitute at his school) to help him with his homework this year. He also told me he wants to go to Texas am… I think it would take a miracle for him to get in there, but it’s allready a miracle the change in him so far…
