While pure on-the-water talent is something we’d all love to be blessed with, sometimes it takes painful fall after painful fall to make progress as a skier. On top of that, the only way we can all enjoy the benefits of tournament weekends is due to the work that team captains, coaches, board members put in each and every season.
Who did you see putting in the most effort for themselves or their team this year?
Alex Graves from SIU perfectly embodies the role of Hardest Worker and I think he is well deserving of this award. Year after year, Alex is the hardest worker on our team and he does it without being asked. There are few people in the collegiate ski community as dedicated and passionate as Alex. SIU would be nowhere near where it’s at today without his endless devotion to the team. He continues to shock me by reaching out to new companies to get us free equipment (shout-out s-lines!), taking endless sets to improve his skiing, and taking time to constantly fix our course and jump. Alex also works extremely hard to grow the camaraderie of our team, always planning nights out on the town or hockey games on the ponds around campus during the winter. The amount of work Alex has put into the team and his own skiing is well deserving of recognition, and I know he would be honored to be selected for this award.
