Coaches,
Is your athlete a Game Changer on and off the field? An award developed specifically to focus on not just an athlete’s performance, but their ability to lead on and off the field through attitude, academics, and work ethic.
The Game Changers Foundation and Sports Turf Company came together to present this award to an athlete, male or female, of any sports team to be recognized for something beyond their physical abilities. In our eyes a leader is not the most vocal player on the team or the star player, but someone who leads by example. These players have impacted their teams through their desire to improve, their ability to preserver, and their drive toward a common goal.
Judging every week will be based on the follow criteria:
- Sportsmanship (respect coaches, officials, opponents, teammates)
- Commitment (toward practices, games, and their teammates)
- Desire to Improve (not only in games but in the classroom, community, etc.)
- Work Ethic (in the classroom and through practice and games)
- Teamwork (their ability to not only work with their team but to lead by example)
- Focus and Discipline (in the classroom and through practices and games)
- Perseverance (overcoming challenges in life, the classroom, practices, games. etc.)
- Overcoming Adversity (in the classroom and through practice and games)
