Brenna Johnson was nominated as a Beck’s Player with Heart for her commitment and passion on and off the court and field. What she loves most about high school sports is the teamwork, competition, and the rewards of hard work. They give her a chance to push herself while working toward a common goal with her teammates. The thrill of competition is amazing and she expressed that it is like a mini vacation from the real world. She believes sports help her stay coachable and adaptable. Brenna competes in basketball, volleyball, and track and field. She is involved in the academic honor roll, student council, homecoming committee, high school rodeo, yearbook, high school helpers, and FFA. Outside of school and sports, Brenna gives back to her community by volunteering at the Sioux City Library Read to Me program with her dog Kota, cleaning the fairgrounds before the fair, serving community members by offering a soup lunch, Hornick Corner cleaned up and installation of a new sign. She also participates in the Willow Workers Thanksgiving food drive, teddy bear toss, Valentine drive for the Pleasant View Nursing home, NICU blanket drive, sock drive for Socktober, the Sloan Easter egg hunt, and has hosted the Salix Easter egg hunt with her 4-H club. Brenna feels agriculture is all around her. The food she eats, the clothes she wears, the activities that she participates in, and the land she lives on. Her family is involved in a lot of the aspects of agriculture. It’s amazing how everything from sports to daily life connects to this important part of her world. Although undecided on a college to attend, Brenna would like to play basketball in the winter and still be able to rodeo in the summer. She is interested in studying a major that deals with adolescent psychology or sports psychology.
