The Jewish Link and The Humble Toast would like to recognize Leo Ogorek as this week’s Sportstar of the Week. The 9-year-old rising fourth grader at the Yeshivat He’Atid is a tremendous athlete and has been tearing it up at Camp Shalom this summer.
Camp Shalom Head of Sports Gabi Secemski told The Jewish Link, “In Camp Shalom, Yosef 2 is the ultimate sports bunk. Leo is a huge part of their competitive and spirited games. He excels in baseball, kickball, football and hockey. Beyond his athletic achievements, Leo is a good teammate, a great sport and a real team player.”
Leo, congratulations on being recognized as this week’s sportstar of the week. Who is your role model and why?
My dad is my role model because he’s really cool, strong, good at sports and he never hesitates to practice any sport with me. He’s the best dad ever!
