* Who is your personal hero and why? "My personal hero is my brother, Bailey Ball. Even though we don't always see eye to eye, he always does the right thing. He has shown me how to be humble and respect everyone. He taught me to be courageous and to have a sense of humor. I constantly find myself trying to follow his footsteps, whether it's in sports or academics. Ever since I was a young boy, I've always wanted to be like him. I love both of my brothers, Bailey and Cody, very much."
