Ransom Everglades senior David Goldstein has been selected by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) to receive the Section 3 “National High School Spirit of Sport Award” for 2013.
Goldstein served the Raiders as captain on its varsity soccer team, and sustained three concussions while playing. After the third one, he began to focus his attention on helping to ensure that future athletes do not have to suffer the same ordeal.
With help from the Florida Brain Association, Goldstein travelled to Tallahassee several times to speak to state legislators, trying to get Youth Athlete’s Bill HB 291 passed into law. After more than a year of debating, the bill was finally signed into law on October 12, 2012.
The bill “requires removal from practice or competition under certain circumstances & written medical clearance to return” according to flsenate.gov.
Goldstein is also exemplary in his academic career, and is in both the National Honor Society and the Cum Laude Society for top 10 percent class GPA.
Goldstein will receive the award before the end of the school year, and will be recognized on June 24 at the NFHS Summer Meeting in Denver.
