Jason Zeeb was nominated as a Beck’s Player with Heart for his commitment and passion on and off the court and field. What he loves most about high school sports is being able to compete with his teammates. Playing high school sports has taught him how important teamwork, leadership, discipline, self-confidence, dedication, and respect are to having a successful season. Jason expressed how sports are a way to keep his body in good physical condition and play an important role in maintaining a healthy mental state. The most important reasons he plays and participates in sports are to go out to do something that he loves and to have fun while gaining experience. Jason competes in football, basketball, and track. He is currently in FFA as the chapter president, a part of the National Honor Society, and is on the A Honor Roll for academics. He also participates in the buddy program, where he mentors elementary students who struggle with making friends or have troubling behaviors, as well as the Heidelberg Youth League and TASC (Teens Actively Serving Christ). It wasn't until Jason started attending school that he realized growing up on a farm wasn't considered "normal" or a way of life for many people. However, to him, agriculture is a vital lifestyle and surrounds many in the small rural community in which he lives. Agriculture has allowed him to explore many of his interests. Being in high school and having the opportunity to join FFA has shown him just how diverse agriculture is in the world. Agriculture is his way of life and a passion that he has been blessed to enjoy every day. Jason plans to attend a university to study agriculture science and play college football. It is his dream to further his education and bring back new ideas to the family farm.
