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

During the charity challenge meet, Jaiden won first place all around and was able to take home the team banner but instead she gave away the team banner to one of the girls who decided not to continue Gymnastics anymore and it was her last meet. She made that girl feel so exuberant, by how she had everybody on the team surround her on stage and publicly acknowledge her and made her feel special! Jaiden has a heart of a champion, and is a great leader!
