Phineus visits the hospital frequently for tests and seizure control, causing him to miss around 100 days of school a year. Also challenging, the seizures prevent him from joining his five brothers on the field to play his favorite sport…football. Despite that frustration, Phineus remains the “life of the party” and is still his siblings biggest cheerleader (and coach) on the sidelines. Even at his young age, Phineus takes nothing for granted and lives life to the fullest – no matter what comes his way!
When asked about his sport’s dream, he quickly replied that he would like to meet Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs! Wearing a smile that lights up a room, he explained that Mahomes is his favorite player because of how he plays, his passion for the sport and because he wins! He has dubbed Mahomes the high honor of being named “The Goat of Football!”
