“I watched his body just deteriorate,” Martin says. “But his mental was still there the entire time. He would wake up at four in the morning, show up to the field just to make sure that we get better. He was always there on time. Never made an excuse. Never complained about anything. He definitely made a big impact on my life.”as Martin was finishing his senior year and getting ready to go off to Vanderbilt.
“My parents had me at a young age,” says Martin, who has two younger sisters, Jenessa and Leilani. “They were both working and doing school at the same time. My grandma was really watching me. So, I’d be around my cousins and I’d have a bunch of older cousins that would love to beat up on me and stuff. We’d always play games and compete. I had to earn everything. They weren’t going to let me win just to be nice.
