From basketball to soccer and even track, Leo Schoenberger has proven himself to be more than just an athlete; he is a leader. Throughout his time at Baldwin High School, Schoenberger has stood out for his dedication and work ethic.

“I have been playing basketball since kindergarten,” Schoenberger said.

All of that hard work has paid off. For all four years of his high school career, Schoenberger has competed at the varsity level for the Bulldogs. Now, his journey is continuing at the next level. Schoenberger has committed to Concordia University.

“I chose to commit to Concordia University due to the amazing coaching staff and successful program history,” Schoenberger said.

Balancing sports and school is not always easy, but Schoenberger believes academics have played a big role in his success.

“Academics have the ability to challenge me mentally, and a lot of times the hard classes I’ve taken require a hard work ethic, which definitely translates to success in sports and in life,” Schoenberger said. “Learning at Baldwin High School has helped me more than just getting A’s on the report card. The classes and teachers have taught me valuable mindset skills and have developed my character drastically.”

For Schoenberger, sports have never been just about winning games. They have been about growth, friendships, and becoming a better person.

“My favorite memories include winning in the first round of State Basketball in my sophomore year,” Schoenberger said. “My senior year however, I have so many great memories having fun with my best friends on the court.”

After high school, Schoenberger plans to continue improving himself both on and off the court.

“My goals for college are to keep becoming a better version of myself, physically, mentally, and spiritually,” Schoenberger said. “I am striving for a degree in Kinesiology that will take me into a Doctorate of Physical Therapy Program.”

No matter where life takes him, Schoenberger hopes the impact he left at Baldwin High School will be about more than sports.

“I truly hope that kids not only look up to me for what I can do on a basketball court or soccer field, but how I treat my peers and how I respond to the experiences I have,” Schoenberger said. “The way kids treat each other and respond to life situations is far more important than any win or loss in a sport.”
