Reed Rus from Mount Vernon HS has been announced as one of the nominees for TheLeadershipPlaybook.com 2021-2022 Student-Athlete of the Year. The award honors those individuals exemplifying sportsmanship, positive leadership, or good teamwork.
The program was developed by Jamy Bechler, a professional speaker, leadership consultant, and host of the “Success is a Choice” podcast.
“We’re thrilled to recognize Reed as a good example of what a student-athlete should be,” said Bechler. “Great teams have great teammates and though no leader is perfect, it’s awesome to be able to recognize student-athletes trying to have a positive influence on their teammates and friends.”
Congrats REED RUS!!
