Iowa Player with Heart: Drake Hinson

Drake Hinson was nominated as a Beck's Player with Heart because of his involvement and dedication to his school, sports, and community. Drake plays football, basketball, soccer, and baseball, and participates in Rotary, speech, and FFA. What Drake loves most about being involved in high school activities is the number of opportunities he can get. He is able to meet and interact with students from other schools and display good sportsmanship. Drake is also involved in his community as a Cornerstone Youth Leader and football/basketball camp helper. He participates in the Rotary Club and helps with community Angel Tree gifts. Drake has had the opportunity to grow up around friends and family who are farmers. Through this experience, he has respect for every farmer and the amount of dedication that they put into their work. Drake recognizes agriculture as the cornerstone of America, as it feeds the community, strengthens the economy, and teaches valuable lessons, such as discipline and teamwork. To Drake, agriculture means resilience, hard work, and commitment, like how to show up every day, even when you don't want to. Drake plans to play baseball at DMACC for two years and then transfer to a 4-year college to continue his baseball career. He wants to study engineering to eventually work for John Deere.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
