DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, June 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For the first time ever, the Positive Athlete organization has recognized local athletes from all across the state of Colorado as high-character kids who have been nominated and confirmed by their schools as the most representative of “How Positive Athletes O.P.E.R.A.T.E.”.

This year, Positive Athlete named 14 different Colorado high schoolers as the Top 7 “Most Positive” male and female student-athletes across the state, while also recognizing with two coaches and one athletic director as “Most Positive” within their respective areas. The Top 7 theme stems from the number of attributes (7) called out above.

More than 440 nominations from coaches, principals, athletic directors, teachers, and parents were submitted for the Positive Athlete program state-wide, representing 197 different public and private high schools (equivalent to 53% of all Colorado high schools with formalized athletics programs). Nominations covered all 27 state sanctioned sports as well as e-sports, archery, equestrian, martial arts, motocross, ultimate, Unified Sports, and more. The Colorado awards are part of the national expansion of Positive Athlete, which was created by sports industry veteran Scott Pederson in the early 2010’s as a movement for more positivity in youth sports. In addition to excellence on the field, each nominated Positive Athlete was required to show the above characteristics in order to be nominated.

Here is a list of the 2024-2025 State Award Winners:

All of these award winners were recognized at the 2025 Colorado Positive Athlete Awards on June 2 at DCSD Legacy Campus, with special guest Pro Football Hall of Famer and Positive Athlete’s Lead Athlete Champ Bailey.

“I’d seen their Positive Athlete nominations and bios but meeting and celebrating the winners in person exceeded all expectations,” said Bailey. “It’s easy to see why they are the future leaders in their communities and the workforce. I’m excited to follow them as they lean in to take advantage of the ever-growing resources offered by Positive Athlete—not just to winners but to all nominees.”

Five scholarships were awarded, totaling $8,000. These recipients included Avery Leman winning the female O.P.E.R.A.T.E Award and Liam Graham winning the male O.P.E.R.A.T.E. Award, each receiving $2,500 toward the academic institution or trade school of their choice. Additionally, Kinsley Mayo, Rhett McDonald and Staia Yohe-Savage received Positivity Champ Awards including a $1,000 scholarship.

Nominations will reopen in the Fall for next school year but Positive Athlete is currently taking pre-nominations at www.PositiveAthlete.org, which will trigger an automatic reminder when nominations reopen.

Kończą się konsultacje Planu Społeczno-Klimatycznego. 2,4 mld euro trafi na sektor transportu po 2026 roku

Dobiegają końca konsultacje społeczne Planu Społeczno-Klimatycznego, tzw.

Polski e-commerce rośnie w siłę. Konsumentów przyciągają przede wszystkim promocje

Rynek e-commerce w Polsce jest już wart ok. 152 mld zł. Rośnie zarówno częstotliwość zakupów, jak i średnia wartość koszyka – wynika z raportu Strategy&. Polacy doceniają wygodę zakupów przez internet, szybką dostawę i łatwy zwrot. Coraz częściej zwracają też uwagę na cenę i chętnie korzystają z promocji. To właśnie ten trend wykorzystuje Amazon.pl, organizując co roku festiwal z okazji Prime Day. W tym roku zaplanowano go po raz pierwszy aż na cztery dni: 8–11 lipca, a nie dwa jak w poprzednich latach.
