Ball, Wolfe, and Coach Hamilton earn Positive Athlete Honors

A trio of Tallulah Falls School (TFS) student-athletes have been selected as members of the 2021-22 class for Positive Athlete, reports TFS Athletics.  Caroline Ball (track and field), Emily Wolfe (swimming), and coach Lowell Hamilton were honored by the organization for the Northeast Georgia Region. Positive Athlete America, started by former UGA football player and Super Bowl XL MVP Hines Ward, awards scholarships to high school student-athletes based more on their character than their athletic performance.  The organization seeks to recognize athletes who have overcome difficult circumstances, given back to their schools and communities or manifest an infectiously positive attitude.  Positive Athlete Georgia has to-date awarded more than $100,000 in college scholarships. Athletes or coaches are nominated by parents, coaches, teachers, administrators or fans.  The Positive Athlete America website lists seven characteristics of a positive athlete that are considered for inclusion: an optimistic attitude, encouragement, servant leadership, a heart for others, admitting mistakes, giving 100% effort and putting team first.
