The Babe Didrikson Zaharias award is given to female senior athletes at Lisle Senior High School. This annual awards is an honor to those who have achieved high levels of success both on and off the playing field. The senior male who is awarded the ‘Babe Award’ has participated in Lion athletics for four years and will have been highly rated by a panel of coaches.
Participation in more than one sport will be considered as a positive element. Varsity coaches will be given an opportunity to nominate one worthy candidate per year.
Nominations will be in writing and will include a letter of support regarding the worthiness of the candidate for consideration. Coaches are asked to nominate only those athletes worthy of selection, as nominations will not be disclosed. In fact, all nominations and letters of support will be kept secret. A panel of coaches will discuss the nominations and present the candidates to the coaches at a meeting to be held in the month of May each year. Discussions and deliberations of the coaches will be kept secret. Secret ballot will be taken at this meeting; only those coaches present will be allowed to vote.
Letters of support should consider several personal elements. Nominees will be rated in each of several important categories.
The personal elements to be considered are as follows:
1) Commitment to Team
2) Character & Courage
3) Leadership Qualities
4) Self-Discipline
5) Coachability
6) General Attitude & Conduct
7) Dedication to School
8) Athletic Excellence

Babe Didrikson Zaharias “was a natural athlete, but she knew that even the natural athlete can never become a great one without adding to physical aptitude certain other qualities of mind and spirit: the patience to persist against odds, the will to work endlessly, and the indomitable determination to win -- not necessarily to win over others, but to master the sport itself."
