What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreThe challenge to push themselves everyday, the opportunity to get that much better everyday. This kids has passion and the drive. He wakes up early everyday lifts weight and runs. He’s only 8 years old.
The dodgers!!! He’s been saying he wanted to be a dodger since he was 5 years old . He swings in front of the tv when players come up to bat. But , he’s so inspired by his Dad. Hes inspired by the people who encourage him to never give up, always do his best, and have a positive attitude. Their support motivates him to work hard not only to become a better baseball player but also to grow into a respectful, caring, and responsible young man.
My proudest moment is how he started a trend in our community. They are young kids so they make pitching errors including hitting players with the ball at times. He would always leave the mound to check on the player before they walk to their base. This kids is so compassionate. Something other kids didn’t do and now they all do here. He always stands up for kids that are left out and don’t have a voice. He is a true leader!
