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

It's fun and you can tackle people- words straight from Kayden himself


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

"My dad, because he's old and still beats me in every sport I play with him, I want to be like him" (his dad is not a professional athlete he went the military route but he isn't wrong lol)


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

When Kayden finally came out of his shell. Two different times: his first homerun in baseball was such a moment the coaches wife and I cried a little, and when his confidence paid off in football and he made his first tackle. He was living in a dream both times and I was so proud on those moments to see him so happy and proud of himself!
