Hi, my name is Eddie and I was first introduced to basketball through the BYBA Rookies Program. Although, I was introduced to Basketball early I did not begin pursuing it seriously until 7th grade. I found a love for the game playing in the BYBA intown and travel program as well as playing AAU in the springs and falls (Boston Bobcats: 2 seasons, EVOlution: 3 seasons, MCIB: 3 seasons). Throughout my basketball journey I have been vary thankful for all the coaches and older players that served as role models and have had a lasting impact on me. Now, as an older player I have enjoyed being on the giving side of this support and impact on younger players. As a coach, I hope to introduce players to new basketball skills and techniques as well as teaching them important lessons and leaving a positive impact on that player.

Hi, my name is Jaden Yan and I have been a part of the Belmont Soccer Program for 9 years.

I have played club soccer for 7 years total on multiple teams (Including: Condors NECSL, NEFC DA, NEFC ECNL, VALEO NAL). Through my time in club I have competed in many tournaments such as the Jefferson cup (NEFC ECNL), Massachusetts state cup (VALEO NAL), and International Ibra cup situated in Barcelona, Spain (VALEO international team).
