At Team IMPACT, we know that being a student-athlete is about more than the sport you play. Being a student-athlete means being a role model, a mentor, a teammate, a friend, and so much more. \u00a0\u201cTyler Meyer is the epitome of a student-athlete,\u201d says Jess Earle, whose 10-year-old son Thad joined the Arizona State University baseball team in February of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyler, a master\u2019s student who just finished his last season with the Sun Devils, quickly became one of Thad\u2019s favorite people, and Thad quickly became one of Tyler\u2019s as well. \u201cFrom the moment Tyler met Thaddeus, they were glued at the hip,\u201d Jess said. \u201cTyler is incredibly supportive of Thad, and Thad regularly asks to spend time with him, whether on the field or off.\u201d The pair became so close that when it came time to nominate his Teammate of the Year, Thad knew Tyler was his choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
