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
“It took a while for Gabriel to be fully part of the Academy as he was still playing with his amateur club, but in October he showed his quality in games and practices,” said Impact U14 head coach Eduardo Sebrango. “Each time, he showed a competitive spirit and a desire to win and improve. He is a good example of a player that doesn’t talk much but shows his leadership qualities. His attitude and desire to win push his teammates to follow him.”
U15 Nutrilait player of the month
Tomas Giraldo Ortiz
“In October, Tomas stood out with his athletic performances,” said Impact U15 head coach Serge Dinkota. “A regular on the field, his progression gave him the opportunity to train a few times with the Impact U17. He has leadership qualities and a positive influence on his teammates.”
