We’re proud to recognize Dylan (left) and Scott (right) as recent Spotlight Award recipients. Both athletes have been instrumental members of the Storm basketball teams this season, showing leadership, encouragement, and dedication to their teammates both on and off the court.
Dylan was recently named an Athlete Fitness Captain after attending several training courses to become a leader within his group. He brings determination, strong skills, and a competitive spirit to every sport he plays. Dylan gives his full effort at every practice and game, and he encourages other athletes by mentoring them and pushing them to be their best. At the same time, his sense of humor helps keep practices and games fun for everyone involved.
Scott is known for making sure no teammate is left behind. He often stays after practice to help athletes who need extra support learning drills or understanding concepts. Patient and encouraging, Scott works to empower his peers and help them grow in confidence. Living out the Special Olympics Oath, “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt,” Scott wants every teammate to feel brave and included. He would gladly pass up his own chance to score if it meant helping a teammate succeed.
Together, Dylan and Scott demonstrate leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Their encouragement and positive attitudes help strengthen their teams and inspire the athletes around them.
Congratulations to Dylan and Scott on this well-deserved Spotlight Award!
