I am writing on behalf of {Name}, whom I have coached and taught for the last {number} years. In that time I have come to know {Name} very well as both a student and an athlete. I am pleased to say that {he/she} brings the same level of effort and dedication to activities both on and off the field.
As an athlete, {Name} is focused and determined, often practicing {number} hours a week on {his/her} own time just to stay in peak physical shape. However, {he/she} still has a sense of friendliness and fair play, often treating people courteously even when teammates start to get rough or the opposing team begins to foul. {Name}'s healthy perspective and cheerful demeanor have made {him/her} a favorite on the team since {he/she} joined.
Unlike some athletes I have met, {Name} puts the same amount of hard work into {his/her} studies as {he/she} does into the game. {He/she} has kept a {number} GPA while also participating frequently in {activity 1} and {activity 2}. I've rarely had the pleasure to teach such a promising and gifted student. I think you will find you agree within just a few moments of meeting {him/her}. Thank you for your time and consideration.
