Participating in 26-27 Impact Players

Become a Champion. Fight for Literacy.

Hi! I’m Elle Weathersby, a soccer player at St. George’s Independent School and a 2026–2027 Impact Player.

Why Literacy?

I became an Impact Player because I want to encourage other student-athletes to use their sports platforms to advocate for important causes like literacy. This program allows me to develop valuable leadership skills while becoming more involved in my community.

Student-athletes of all ages and sports can make a difference. Reading has opened many doors for me and helped me become the student-athlete I am today. Literacy creates opportunities and gives young people the tools they need to accomplish their goals.

As an Impact Player, I hope to strengthen my leadership skills and learn how to fundraise effectively for a cause I truly care about.
