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

I love football because it gives me an opportunity to be me. I feel like I can be myself and I am always happy when I am playing. I fit in and I really like the excitement and adrenaline when I score or make a great catch I’m proud of myself and I feel like I’m complete.


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

My dad, because he gives me strength not just physically but mentally. He helps me throughout all my struggles.


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

Making so much growth within the little time I’ve been playing. And never giving up on myself and not giving up on how I can improve both on and off the field.
