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

Jayden was playing street hockey in Pittsburgh pa, and it can get aggressive. Jayden and another child collided and Jayden knocked him over . Once the referee stopped the play Jayden walked over to him to make sure he was ok . The parents at that game were commenting to Jayden how he had great sportsmanship. They asked where his parents were and he told my pop pop & mom mom are on the side . Made my heart melt. He does that even for soccer . Jayden is a tough player but very fair.
