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 U13 and U14 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.
U13 Nutrilait player of the month
Rida Zouhir
“In June, Rida was really performant,” said Impact U13 head coach Serge Dinkota. “He showed his potential with the U13 group and also with the U14 during a tournament in France. He had a lot of confidence and initiatives, which is important for us in June. He also improved his attitude as well as showing signs of leadership.”
U14 Nutrilait player of the month
Junior Kabwe
“In June, Junior showed once again all his talent,” said Impact U14 head coach. “After disappointing news that he wouldn’t be coming with us to the tournament in France, he continued to show he takes his development seriously. He worked hard and performed well with the U16 team in June. He also kept working individually during the month to improve.”
