Nutrilait player of the month - April
The Nutrilait player of the month, a program presented by Nutrilait, is an opportunity for Academy coaches to put forward and reward a player from the U14 and U15 group that distinguished himself, each month. The selection is based on athletic, academic and community criteria that tale into account the player’s efforts, progression, perseverance and involvement. Another important point is the player’s capacity to show initiative and leadership with different actions within the club or the community, all the while respecting the values of the Impact Academy.
The player of the month will have his photo displayed by the Centre Nutrilait locker rooms and will get a $200 gift card at Evangelista Sports.
U14 Nutrilait player of the month
Gabriel Antinoro
“Gabriel has been good in practices and matches with the U15 team since we came back from France,” said Impact U14 head coach Eduardo Sebrango. “He was able to score, create chances and worked hard defensively to help the team recover balls. I noticed an important improvement in his mental aspect of the game since his return from France. He is able to control his emotions and stay focused during the games and that helped him improve the consistency in his performances.”
U15 Nutrilait player of the month
Hamadi-Jed Hmida
“There have been many positive signs of the progress in his play, but also in the maturity he showed during the whole month,” said Impact U15 head coach Serge Dinkota. “After a strong showing in Italy, he followed up with good performances in the USSDA games as well as good weeks in training. Hamadi has fun playing every day and it’s refreshing to see him thrive like he is right now.”
