Jaiden Smith, a vibrant 13-year-old, is a member of the Essex Professional Coaching Holiday Club at Whitehall Academy in Clacton. Although he might not be the most active, his infectious enthusiasm truly sets him apart. Jaiden approaches every activity with a positive attitude, encouraging other children—especially those who are shy or lack confidence—to participate and have fun.
Jaiden’s kindness and helpfulness shine through whether he’s showing younger kids how to hold a bat or offering a helping hand. As a brilliant role model, his presence at the holiday club is akin to having an extra coach on hand. For these reasons, Jaiden has been recognised as the Active Essex #MoveWithUs Move Maker for February, a well-deserved accolade for a young star who inspires others to get involved and enjoy themselves.
“I nominated Jaiden as a Move Maker because I heard about his kindness and patience in encouraging other children to be active at the EPC holiday club. He is a young leader in the making, supporting his younger peers and leading with empathy and enthusiasm.”
