Camps and training
Aiden had extensive 1-on-1 soccer skill training with a NEFC coach this summer. He also went to NEFC and Lake Winnipesaukee soccer camps and Paul Hogan’s basketball camp.
One Fay match he remembers
“Taking one action at the right time can change the tide in your favor.”
Aiden, on what that game taught him
Aiden was filling in on defense, and Fay’s five-goal lead had shrunk by three. He rallied and reminded his fellow defenders of a practice drill focused on pressure, cover, balance. He told them to focus, not worry about the past, and just play the next play. They started pressing again, won the ball back, and Aiden was able to capitalize on a cross from the right wing and score, shifting the momentum back.

“Even though I’m injured … I really wanna help my team in all the ways I can.”
Aiden, on staying involved after his injury
In October, Aiden broke his tibia playing soccer. His first concern was the team. He went to the Ocean Cup Tournament on crutches to cheer them on, and his coach and teammates appreciated it. He expects to be off his boot by mid-November.

On the water and the slopes
Summers on the lake. Winters on the mountain.
Aiden has been swimming since he was a year and a half old, and he has grown up spending summers and winters at Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. On the lake he wakeboards, wakesurfs, kayaks, and swims. In winter, he skis.
