Olenginski isn’t your average high school freshman.
That’s because at just 15 years old, Justin has already been the captain of his football team… and scored his very first touchdown!
You see, Justin was born blind, with special needs, and with mobility difficulties, so playing on his school’s football team was always just a dream of his.
That is, until his older brother Michael Olenginski, a 17-year-old senior at Dallas High School in Pennsylvania, made that dream come true.

Justin was voted honorary captain for a day, and during one game’s halftime, Michael, the team’s official captain, helped his younger brother finish a play and score his very first six points!
While those points didn’t count towards the final score, and Dallas High ended up losing the game, Justin will never forget the moment when everyone he cheered for all those years were chanting his name, instead.
