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

He loves how he learn to defend himself and the the discipline towards it.

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

I initially pushed him to get to register. Then after that it's his Sensei help him with everything. The trust and the confidence that his Sensei Rober Blowatt helped him all thru out the competition.

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

It's how he learned from every tournament. How he accept defeat and go on and give another try. Coz the first time he lose he almost gave up and said his not joining again. I pushed him to join again, since then he improved a lot.
