Sports have taught him resilience and discipline.
Brayden said that he draws inspiration from his parents, who unwaveringly support his dreams and are always there for him. In baseball, his primary sport, Derek Jeter is his role model for leadership and skill. Tom Brady’s journey from being overlooked to becoming the greatest fuels his drive to persevere. Kobe Bryant’s relentless passion to be the best pushes him to give his all. Their examples of dedication and heart inspire him to chase greatness on and off the field.
As parents, we’re most proud of the moment that Brayden hit his first home run. After countless hours of practice and dedication, seeing the ball soar over the fence and the pure joy on his face was unforgettable. His hard work paid off, and the pride he felt in that moment lit up the field. It was a testament to his grit and passion, making us beam with pride for his perseverance and the happiness he found in that milestone.
