How do you know the star student athlete?

I have coached him throughout high school and middle school and was also his middle school teacher.

What sport does the star student athlete play?

Soccer

Why do you believe the star student athlete should be recognized?

Kyle is a senior goalkeeper who is leading the league in shutouts. He is having a great year but he is also one of the hardest workers I’ve ever coached. Last year he only played in a couple of games due to a concussion in preseason. His sophomore year, he broke his hand in preseason and never played in a game. He is a leader, our team captain, and only speaks positively to our team. When we win, he never says it was because of him. He always shouts out his teammates.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star student athlete?

Kyle is a positive leader who sets an example each day with his work ethic and positive feedback to provides to each player on the field.

Keep up the great work, Kyle!
