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

Because he works really hard and practices all year to continuously improve and get stronger. He also does other athletic activities that enhance his speed and reflexes to make him a better player. He is determined to be the best he can be and maintains focus throughout the game. He recently started helping his teammates understand the game of baseball - a game he has loved since he held his first whiffle bat at age 4.

Jimmy is competitive and driven, and an awesome teammate. It all comes from within. He can play almost any position and he truly loves the game!
