Minnesota Player with Heart: Kristen Schmidt

Kristen Schmidt was nominated as a Beck's Player with Heart for her dedication and commitment on and off the field and track. In school, Kristen plays soccer, participates in track and field, and is the boy's basketball manager. She is also part of the student council, Rotary Interact, and the Caledonia FFA. Kristen loves the teamwork and fun atmosphere while participating in these activities with her friends. She says she is lucky to have supportive coaches to push her to play her best and appreciates being part of a team that wants to accomplish the same goals. Kristen volunteers with the Caledonia Rockets 4-H club to help with roadside clean-up and flag retirement day. She also helps at the Houston County PDC beef showmanship clinic and with breakfast with Santa. To Kristen, agriculture means being part of feeding America by raising beef to send to the market, as it is where our food comes from. It's important to her to inform people about the beef industry and what it takes to raise an animal with respect. Kristen wants to continue being part of FFA and 4-H throughout high school. She also wants to attend college to get a physical therapy license while working on her family's beef farm to continue raising and building her herd.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
