Eighth-grader Andrew Martin is the Aroma Joe’s athlete of
the week. The 13-year-old Windham Middle School student plays soccer, track,
hockey and wrestles. When he’s not competiting he enjoys video games and
hanging out with friends.
“Wrestling is a physically demanding sport but demands even
more mental discipline. I have had the privilege of coaching Andrew in
wrestling for the past three years and have watched him grow not only in his
skill as a wrestler, but more importantly into a young man of character. I
pride Andrew in his ability to win and lose with the same integrity, and focus
on improving himself day by day. He is a joy to be around and I look forward to
seeing him grow as an individual in the years to come,” said coach Nathan
Johnson.
Andrew’s sports heroes are Logan Stieber and Kyle Dake, both
wrestlers.
Balancing sports and school keeps Andrew on his toes. “You
have to focus on school work first, sports second,” he said. “Teamwork
motivates me not to think of myself first, but of my team instead,” he said
about teamwork.
Andrew lives with his mom and dad Theresa and Jim Martin and
his sister, Katie Martin.
He would like to wrestle for Ohio State or Penn State after
he graduates from high school.
