Wisconsin Player with Heart: Samuel Majeske
Samuel Majeske was nominated as a Beck’s Player with Heart for his commitment and passion on and off the field and court. What he loves most about high school sports is being a part of a team, working together, and supporting one another through not only the season but also through life's ups and downs. He obtained the honor of serving as team captain for his baseball team last season and for his basketball team this season. It is extremely important to him that he leads by example, displaying hard work and perseverance as well as respect. This past fall, he took a hit after making a tackle and ended up in the hospital for five days with a grade four kidney laceration and a lumbar fracture. The support he received from his teammates and coaches helped get him through the six weeks of recovery. Samuel is a three-sport athlete, playing football, basketball, and baseball. He participates in choir, has been a percussionist in band, and was part of the State FFA Choir. He is an active participant in FFA, serving as president for the past three years. Samuel has been involved in many activities to help his community since a young age. He has been part of the Kinship School-Based mentorship program, where he meets with younger students every week and does fun activities together. He is also very active in his church. He has been playing drums for the worship team a few Sundays each month since 8th grade. He volunteered at his Vacation Bible School program for the past six summers. As part of football, the high school players assist with the youth flag football program. This was something he enjoyed and helped run flag football each Saturday for the elementary school kids. Growing up on a family farm, agriculture is a large part of Samuel's life. His father is the fourth-generation owner of their family farm, teaching him what hard work and dedication can build. Working side by side with his father has given him many opportunities to learn a variety of skills. This strong work ethic ingrained in him will serve him well in college and his future career. Samuel has enjoyed the opportunity to share agriculture and expand his experience through FFA. One of his favorite projects was when he drove his tractor to school, which raised awareness for sharing the roads safely with farm equipment during the busy harvest season. After high school, Samuel plans to attend a four-year college to major in business. He plans to pursue his dream to continue playing basketball at a D3 school. It's important to him to recognize those who have supported him to get where he is today. His faith in God is his foundation and keeps him grounded. His family, especially his parents, also walk in faith and support his dreams, offering guidance as well as giving him enough room to learn from his mistakes.
