Chandler Jax is the oldest child behind the Nickels brand. In the spirit of Chan turning 9 and his love for sports I'll talk about that this week.
When it comes to basketball Chandler is a shooter through and through. At 9 he has the ability to step back on his 3's and still knock them down. Definitely my favorite aspect of his game because when that ball goes through that net I get to see his confidence soar and him glow. Easily my favorite moments of coaching him. On the other end of the court, Chandler loves playing defense; an attribute he takes from both mommy and daddy. He loves getting a stop and especially getting that steal!
When it comes to track, the kid is a beast, though! Naturally. He just loves running. At 8 years old he ran under a 17 second 100m dash and under a 6:40 mile. In between track and basketball he dabbled in flag football for a season and immediately made an impact on defense and offense. The future is bright for one of the leaders of Team Nickels and I can't wait to see how it turns out as his #1 fan, coach and daddy.
Happy birthday, son!! Can't wait to celebrate you all weekend.
