The Jewish Link and The Humble Toast would like to recognize Jack Goldbrenner as this week’s Sportstar of the Week. The sixth grader at Yeshivat Noam picked up the Hustle & Heart award a few weeks ago at the Hustle & Heart 2023 boys camp. When asked about Jack and the program, Hustle and Heart boys camp director, Dovid Schaulewicz, told The Jewish Link, “Hustle & Heart boys basketball camp 2023 was a huge success, with over 100 players attending from New Jersey, New York, Baltimore, Florida and more! One of the most coveted awards we give to our players is the Hustle & Heart award which is given to a player who exemplifies a great work ethic and middos. For the fifth and sixth grade division, the clear choice among coaches was Jack Goldbrenner. Jack epitomizes what it means to be a Hustle & Heart player. He is competitive, hard working and really internalizes that we are all part of the Hustle & Heart family. Jack gave it his all on every possession, was always looking for an extra clinic to attend and was a great friend to everyone in his division. Congratulations to Jack and we are so proud of him.”
