Iowa Player with Heart: Collin Harder

Collin Harder was nominated as a Beck's Player with Heart for his dedication and commitment on and off the field, track, and court. Collin plays football, basketball, and track, saying he enjoys having the opportunity to compete, learn new skills, work with his team, and meet new athletes from other schools. After an injury and extended time away from sports, he realized how important sports were for mental health, time management, and stress release while doing what he enjoys with his friends. Collin is also part of FFA, the National Honor Society, FLA, the student council, and Silver Cord. In his community, Collin is part of the East Pottawattamie County Youth Council, 4-H, crop scouting team, and livestock judging team. He volunteers for Operation Christmas Child Shoebox and youth baseball, and participates in youth group, Sunday school, and Vacation Bible School at his church. To Collin, agriculture means family, as he was raised on a farm and wants to be the fourth generation whose livelihood is agriculture. Being part of the agriculture industry also means feeding the world sustainably and trying to leave the land better than how it was found. Collin plans to attend Iowa State University to major in agricultural studies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
