Haydin

What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Haydin loves playing both soccer and football because each sport challenges him in different ways and brings out the best in him as an athlete and teammate. What he enjoys the most is the combination of competition, physicality, teamwork, and the chance to improve. He loves the intensity of the game, physical challenge, and the adrenaline rush that comes with every play in both sports.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

For football, Coach Matt and Coach Cody has been a huge source of inspiration for Haydin. Haydin admires how both Coaches believes in every player, even when they struggle, and helps them grow through hard work and discipline. They help the players grow through hard work and discipline. Both coaches did not focus on winning, they gave life lessons through the game and on the field.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

One moment in Haydin’s journey that made me the proudest was when he showed true leadership during the game that wasn’t going his way. The team was struggling, tensions were high, parents were yelling at the referees, and it would be easy for the players to shut down. Instead he stayed calmed, focused, and positive. He encouraged his teammates, kept giving his all on every play, and led by example. That showed at that moment. It showed resilience, maturing, responsibility. I was very proud.
