Jimmy V Award

Featured list candidates/Jimmy V Award/archive1

Nominator(s): MWright96 (talk) 12:55, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Having enjoyed reviewing the Laureus World Sports Awards lists, I have to have a crack at re-working one myself. This list is short and neat. It is about those brave individuals in the world of sports who have been presented with the Jimmy V Award, named after college basketball coach Jim Valvano, for overcoming "great obstacles through perseverance and determination." Unless reviewers think otherwise, I believe this list meets the necessary guidelines. All comments and suggestions on improving the list are very much welcome, and will be tended to as soon as possible. MWright96 (talk) 12:55, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*Infobox and prose contradict each other. One says presented by ESPN, one by the Jimmy V Foundation.
