Event keeps passing player instance instead of the correct variable, why?

I’m trying to pass information to the server when the player is reloading but the isReloading variable is equal to the player’s instance when it’s supposed to be a boolean value. I keep getting this error in the console: attempt to concatenate string with Instance. I figured out that it was passing the player’s instance instead of isReloading because if I do print(isReloading.Name) it will print my username. How can I get this to pass isReloading as true/false?

Here is a simplified version of my scripts:

Local Script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Remotes = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remotes")

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local function Reload()
	local isReloading = true
	Remotes.Reloading:FireServer(Player, isReloading)
end

Server Script:

local Client = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent -- ugly I know
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") 
local Remotes = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remotes")
local debounce = false

Remotes.Reloading.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, isReloading)
	if Client.Name == Player.Name then
		if debounce == true then
			print(Player.Name.." Reloading: "..isReloading)
			task.wait(2)
			debounce = false
		end
	end
end)

You don’t need to send the player bool.

Remotes.Reloading:FireServer(isReloading)

try without it.
