Manitoba's Credit Unions Scholar Athlete

Yale Michaels of Grant Park High School, played football, volleyball, basketball and rugby, while maintaining a 95% average and was on the school honor roll each semester. He is also Student Council Co-President and a member of the Grad Committee and Social Justice Committees. Yale was his schools nominee for the most outstanding Football Player and punted an average of thirty-six yards. Yale states “Athletics played an integral roll in my high school experience. As a student athlete, I have developed a strong work ethic, which has modeled of many coaches and mentors…. Having a coach volunteer their own time and knowledge to your development as an athlete and instills a sense of self worth that is difficult to match…I can genuinely say that I am a more confident, outgoing and hard working person than I would have been if I had made the mistake of avoiding sports.” Yale will be attending Harvard University next year and will be a punter on their football team.
