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

They love being on their toes all the time & being able to help his team out by keeping the goals away. He loves the celebrations that they have at the end of the games.


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

His dad inspires him to be a better player, person, & student every single day. He’s always willing to go outside with him & coach him to be the best team player he can be.


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

There was a championship game in the 2024 season & the kid kept trying to kick the ball in because Leland wasn’t able to stop it with his hands, just his body. He never once let that ball go into the goal while on his back.
