Hundreds of young fans nationwide entered this year’s NFL PLAY 60 Super Bowl Contest Presented by Danimals® online at NFL.com/PLAY60Contest.To be eligible, Amaya submitted a video explaining why she should be the next NFL PLAY 60 Super Kid. Following interviews with the finalists, Amaya was named the winner of this year’s contest for her dedication to a healthy lifestyle, and passion and excitement for helping her peers to stay physically active and eat healthy.
Despite limitations and challenges due to COVID, Amaya has remained dedicated to getting active for at least 60 minutes every day. She enjoys riding her bike and scooter around the neighborhood, playing mid-field on her soccer team and practicing jujitsu. Amaya also recognizes the importance of eating nutritious food to fuel her body – and loves learning how to make nutritious meals in the kitchen alongside her family. When she is not getting in her 60 minutes of physical activity, Amaya enjoys reading, painting, and writing stories of her own. Amaya empowers her peers to stay active through her role as a Fuel Up to Play 60! Ambassador for her school and believes the opportunity to be this year’s Super Kid will give her the platform to encourage even more kids across the country to be healthy and strong.
