Kaden is an elite athlete who is currently in his first season with the 8U Braves. Kaden also answers to the nickname, “Airhorn”. He received that nickname from his soccer team because one game his coach said, “he’s so quiet they are going to give him an airhorn on the field” and it just stuck.
“Airhorn” choose #1 to wear on his back while he battles on the diamond with his Braves brothers. He picked that number because “I’ve been #1 for a while now and it’s a cool number”. We agree Kaden, you are #1!
We asked him why he likes playing baseball. “Airhorn” said, “Because it’s fun to play with your teammates and fun to win”. Taking a look at your team’s wins, you have been having a lot of fun.
We were wondering who his favorite baseball player was…so we asked. “Airhorn” said that Max Scherzer from the Washington Nationals is his favorite. Nice pick Kaden.
So “Airhorn”, do you play any other sports besides baseball? “Yes, soccer, basketball and running.” Which one is your favorite? “Well, I love them all.”
Kaden was asked if there is anything he likes to do outside of sports? He said he likes to play board games and has loved Monopoly ever since he was little.
So, with all of his activities and board games you would think he is a lonely child, right? No! Kaden has a brother, Tyler, and sister, Hallie. Kaden is the oldest and teaches them everything he knows. I’m sure if you drive by “Airhorn’s” house you will see him playing baseball with his brother in the yard. As a matter of fact, we have even seen a full baseball game in his backyard before. All of the kids from the area come running when the Hampshires are out playing.
We were wondering what he wants to be when he grows up. We were putting our money on a banker or real estate owner from playing Monopoly so much but “Airhorn” said “a professional athlete”. Well, that was our second guess.
As serious as Kaden is on the baseball diamond, you wouldn’t think that he also has a great sense of humor. Well we got a glimpse of his humor when we asked him what his favorite subject in school is and why. “Airhorn” said while laughing “does gym count as a subject?” After wiping our tears from our eyes from laughing so hard we were able to get a different answer. “Math”, Kaden said, “because I like counting”.
So “Airhorn” what is your favorite hobby and why? “Hiking, because you can pick up trash and it’s fun exploring.” Way to go Kaden! Doing the right thing to preserve this beautiful planet.
With all of the energy it takes to run around and do all of the different activities, we couldn’t wait until we asked him what his favorite food was. Kaden said, “Mac-n-Cheese, because it tastes good”. I don’t know about you, but our mouths are watering just thinking about it.
We had to end the interview, so we finished by asking him what the best part is about being a Brave. “Airhorn” said “you get to have fun with your teammates and snacks after every game!”
Thank you, Kaden for being our BRAVE OF THE WEEK!
