Sam Reddick Named Germantown Legends Competitive Player of the Month for September
Sam Reddick, captain of the U19 Germantown Legends high school boys’ competitive soccer team, joined the Germantown Legends when the club first opened in this area.
A recreational player since age four, Sam was looking to improve his skills and continue practicing with other boys from his middle school soccer team at Evangelical Christian School. Despite the long drive to practices from his home in Bartlett, the team was a good fit for Sam. He was able to develop both skills and confidence without committing to a program that demanded priority over every other aspect of his life.
Sam, now 16 and a junior at ECS, is an outstanding student who aspires to one day become an orthopedic surgeon. In addition to the Legends, Sam plays on the ECS varsity soccer team which made the TSSAA 2015 State semi-finals in the spring. He also serves on the Shelby County Mayor’s Youth Council, plays first chair French horn in the concert band and competes in Knowledge Bowl.
Sam makes time to give back to others, too, and worked as Volunteer at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital last summer. He also helps with his church’s Vacation Bible School and offers free tutoring to younger students in both math and Latin.
Under coaches David Ridenhour, Kirk Dunaway, and Tyler Matz, Sam has grown as a player and a leader. He is known for his respectful attitude, dry wit, strong work ethic, and commitment to excellence in all aspects of his life. Sam encourages and directs his teammates from his position as center-back and defensive mid.
Now in his second season as team captain, Coach Kirk has given Sam additional responsibilities and is helping him develop character and leadership skills, in addition to honing his technical abilities. The team recently won their second Rose Cup Championship (2014 and 2015), and are progressing in their quest to make the Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA) 2015- 2016 State play-offs this season.
We are looking for a Player, Coach or Volunteer to recognize each month. If you have someone you would like to nominate, please send an email to INFO@GermantownLegends.com requesting the nomination form or CLICK HERE to access the form online.
