Comments from his nomination:

Braden is a member of the SJP II 5/6 grade soccer team. Braden did not play soccer for the school in
2018 with heavy commitments to his travel soccer team, but he really missed playing with his
classmates and for the school. In 2019, he has balanced playing for both teams and made every game
and most practices. Braden’s play on the field has been spectacular, but as a coach his leadership has
stood out even more! He has worked to be a “coach on the field” during both games and practice and
sharing his experience with other players to make them better and understand the game of soccer.
Often during pre-game, half-time and post-game discussions with the team, he respectfully chimes in at
the right times to re-iterate key points and actions I am looking for in the team. It has been a real
pleasure to coach Braden this season and that’s why I would like to nominate him for Knight of the
Month.
