Riley Stroman enjoys the rough challenge of sports, but admits to having a tender heart.
“The two most important things to me are my family and my sports,” Stroman said.A rising senior at Corcoran High School, Stroman is a starting basketball and football player. He describes his favorite sports, basketball and football, as “rough, fun, and exhilarating.”
Stroman has traveled to places with his basketball team, such as Las Vegas and Orlando, Fla.
Stroman’s tender heart stands out as he spends time with his family. He enjoys playing basketball with his nine brothers and sisters. Eating with his family every Sunday is a tradition. Stroman and his father bond when fishing together. Video games such as Madden and NBA games are another Stroman family activity.
But the Stroman kids weren’t always so close.
Stroman opens up: “I’m afraid of the dark.”
Stroman’s fear of the dark began when he was 10 years old and his siblings locked him in the dark basement. It was “scary and cold,” he said.
But his parents ran to free him, as always.
The hectic, but loving environment he was raised in shaped his goals and priorities to reflect his love for his family.
“My future looks pretty good,” Stroman says.
In the future, he hopes to go to college in Florida to play basketball and be close to his older brother who lives there. In the hope that his family will benefit from his salary, Stroman hopes to become a successful businessman.
Stroman’s idea of bliss is “being problem-free.” He describes himself simply: “I’m a happy person.”
