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

He loves competing, getting better every day, and being part of a team. His goal is to play baseball at the highest level possible.


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

Brayden doesn’t really have just one player he tries to be like. He loves baseball as a whole and studies players who compete at the highest level. As Giants fans, Barry Bonds is someone he’s always admired for how dominant he was at the plate and his approach to hitting. More than anything, Brayden is motivated by his own goal of someday playing Major League Baseball.


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

It’s honestly not one game or one moment. What makes me proudest is watching how much he improves every year because of the work he puts in. He practices almost every day, trains even when nobody is making him, and keeps pushing himself into tougher competition. Watching all that work turn into confidence and success on the field has been the most rewarding part of his journey for me.
