Iowa Player with Heart: Xander Harwood

Xander Harwood was chosen as a Beck's Player with Heart for his dedication and passion on and off the field. At school, Xander is involved in football, baseball, and track. Through these activities, he has learned the importance of friendship and communication. He is thankful to be able to meet people he never thought he would meet. Outside of school, Xander gives back by volunteering in his community and the surrounding areas. He also works as a mechanic, helping farmers maintain and repair their equipment. Through this work, he has developed a deep respect for agriculture and the people behind it. Although he did not grow up on a farm, agriculture means a great deal to Xander. By working on farm equipment, he has come to understand that farming involves far more than planting and harvesting. It requires long days, sacrifice, and dedication to provide food for families around the world. He is grateful for the hard work farmers put in to support their communities. He plans to attend Iowa Lakes Community College to earn a degree in farm equipment mechanics.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
