SportsKid of the Year

"SportsKid of the Year" was introduced by Sports Illustrated magazine after the highly successful Sportsman of the Year award was introduced in 1954.

The SportsKid is also honored at Sports Illustrated's annual Sportsman of the Year awards celebration in New York City and in 2011 was featured on Cartoon Network's "Hall of Game" in Los Angeles.
