Welcome to
Since it’s inception, Positive Athlete, an organization with Super Bowl XL MVP Hines Ward as its lead spokesperson, has
awarded over $400,000 in college scholarships to high school student-athletes
based more on their character than their athletic performance. Nominating an athlete or coach is a very simple process which can be done here on this website. Student-athletes can be nominated by parents, coaches, teachers, administrators or fans of high school student- athletes grades 9-12. We are looking for athletes who have overcome difficult circumstances, given back to their schools and communities, or just have an infectious positive attitude.
Positive Athlete Book
The Positive Athlete book is a collection of 100 true-life experiences written by high school student-athletes across the country who have either overcome difficult circumstances or have significantly given back to their schools and communities.
