What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreI love the connections I have built and relationships that have been made through sports. I also love the consistency and work ethic it has given me that I can use for the rest of my life.
First my parents for showing me what hard work and dedication is. Also my old coach, Mr Mauk, who taught me that it's not just about winning or losing, but also the impact you make on the people you play with. Finally God, because my entire goal is to honor and glorify Him through everything I do, including sports.
The thing that makes me most proud is how he never gives up. He puts in the work day after day, spending hours a day, in all kinds of weather, at the field or running. He has also become a great leader for the younger kids on his team, always encouraging them to never give up. He's a great player, but also a great leader for the team.
