Going Above and Beyond for Player Safety: How Tulare Union’s Jason Da Silva Redefines Sportsmanship 

Nominator Nayirah Dosu says, "Jason is almost always the first trainer out to a player who goes down, whether it's his athlete or not. And when it's not his athlete, he often stays with the other team's athlete and trainer in case more help is needed. I believe he's very loved and appreciated at TU because you always hear "get Jason" at games, never just "get the trainer". He makes it known he's always there for the athletes, and as the school's only trainer, I'm sure that's a lot. Still, he takes time with his athletes and others, to ensure that they are safe to play. He shows that sportsmanship goes beyond players and coaches."
