Match of the Month: Tryston and Nick

Little Brother Tryston and Big Brother Nick were matched in April of 2021 to be part of the Sports Buddies Program. On the day of the match introduction, Tryston’s mother shared that Tryston was so excited that he could barely sleep the night before and was up and ready early that morning. Tryston was a little shy at first but after being matched for 3 months now, the two are really hitting it off.

Tryston and Nick both enjoy baseball and taking things apart. Nick is a baseball coach and Tryston’s mother shared that a few days before BBBSC called her with the potential match, they bought Tryston his first baseball glove and bat. It’s like it was meant to be! Since being matched, the pair has seen each other every month at activities such as the Trampoline Park and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Museum tour.

Nick has shown his dedication to Tryston by being present outside of Sports Buddies events. On the day of their match introduction, Tryston and his mother mentioned to their Program Specialist that Tryston was really excited for a Ninja Warrior camp he was participating in this summer and would love for Nick to come support him. Their Program Specialist coordinated with Nick, who was able to take time away from work and attend the camp in support of Tryston. Tryston’s mother kept this a surprise and the smile on Tryston’s face when he saw Nick there was priceless!

While they have only been matched for a few months, we are excited to see the match between Nick and Tryston continue to flourish.
