Heart of the Tiger Award
Heart of the Tiger
The Heart of the Tiger is an annual award given to one athlete from each of the school’s 12 FHSAA sanctioned programs. This award was established by the Athletic Department in 2012-13 to recognize the Most Valuable Teammate. It is the highest honor given in Jesuit athletics. The character traits displayed by the athlete parallel the mission of the school. The recipient of this award brings out the very best in his team, serving as a role model, advocate, friend, competitor, and servant. He demonstrates the greatest work ethic, the most enthusiasm, and displays a selfless attitude committed to the overall goals of the team. He also exemplifies the highest standards of sportsmanship, integrity, class, humility, and honor in both times of defeat and times of success.
