What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreThe competition. Jimmy is usually undersized but it never gets in his way. He watches and learns quickly. He gets that when you work hard, you can outperform others who may have more size and skill but you can still succeed. He’s quarterback and team captain in football, best on base percentage during baseball, and point guard and team points leader on his basketball team. He shows good sportsmanship even in bad moments and keeps a team first attitude.
Caleb Williams, Pete Crow Armstrong and LeBron James. He’s also been lucky enough to work with really great coaches. He has two older brothers who have lead the way for him. They have always been a great example but never go easy on him. He’s 6 years younger and the older boys are go full speed with him. I guess he figures if he comes even close to hanging with them, kids his own age won’t be a problem:)!
We had our ups and downs in football last year. The final game of the season we went against a team that was good. Jimmy ran for over 100 yards and scored two touchdowns. He threw for 150 and two more touchdowns. Final play of the game, coach put Jimmy in on defense (he doesn’t play much d). He is our fastest player so he was just a prevent player on the last play. He got overexcited and decided to blitz!! He broke through the line and quickly sacked their quarterback! Game over W
