VYPE: What has your sport taught you that makes you a better person?
Kaden: Basketball taught me that it’s more than just a game. It teaches you how to control your
emotions. Maybe if you’re losing it can teach you how to still have good body language or even
if you’re winning but you just feel like you’re not playing well and still have good body language
that what coaches see the most.

to wake up early and have to drive over an hour to take me to tournaments and is always there
for me if I need something.
