Kaide loves playing football and basketball because they bring out the best in him—his energy, determination, and competitive spirit. He thrives on the excitement of the game, whether he's running a touchdown or sinking a three-pointer. He enjoys the teamwork, the challenge of pushing himself to improve, and the pride that comes with giving it his all on the field or court. Sports also give him a sense of discipline and confidence, and he loves the friendships and memories he builds with his tea
Kaiden is inspired by his dad and mom both on and off the field. His dad teaches him hard work, discipline, and how to never give up, while his mom shows him the importance of kindness, balance, and believing in himself. She’s his biggest fan, always cheering loudest from the sidelines. Together, they support him with love and strength, and Kaiden plays with pride knowing his parents believe in him and push him to be his best every single day.
One of my proudest moments was when Kaiden got his first interception—he lit up with pride, and so did I. But what made me even prouder was how he checked on the opposing player after the play and helped him up. That moment showed me he’s not just a great athlete, but a kind and respectful young man. He always cares for his teammates and even the other team, and that heart of his is what truly makes him special
