Minnesota Player with Heart: Grace Schavey

Brownfield Ag News

Grace Schavey 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 team aspect, the community that comes with playing, and the character it builds in her. It is an amazing opportunity to be with teammates and coaches that treat her like family and build connections and relationships with all of them. She will never forget the memories and lessons throughout her high school sports journey. Grace is involved in girls' tennis, basketball, and track and field. She is also active in her school’s FFA chapter serving as an officer, as well as BPA (Business Professionals of America), peer helping, National Honor Society, and is currently her junior class vice president. In her community, Grace participates in 4-H, at both club and county levels where she has served in many offices at both levels. Through 4-H, she has volunteered at her fair and throughout the year at various events. She is also active in her church and enjoys volunteering at many different community activities such as helping at youth sports camps and volunteering at different community events with her basketball team. Agriculture is one of the most important things in Grace's life. Growing up on her family’s farm, as well as in the livestock industry showing pigs, or through 4-H and FFA, has been one of the most valuable things to her. The agriculture and livestock industries have shaped who she is today as a person, teaching her many invaluable life lessons and skills, as well as a work ethic and truly working for what she wants to accomplish. After high school, Grace plans to attend college and possibly further her education in agri-business or the animal science area. She would also like to be able to return home to her family farm one day and help them continue farming. Additionally, she would like to thank her parents, coaches, teammates, mentors, and anyone else in her life who has helped get her to this point and shaped her into who she is.
