Featured Award Winner – 2025

Jody Toth – John P Mitchell Adult Commissioner Award

Growing up in Central Illinois in the 1970s, Jody Toth’s exposure to soccer was limited to just two weeks in gym class—but those two weeks were enough to ignite a lifelong passion. While she played a variety of sports, including softball, tennis, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and track, soccer remained the sport that captured her heart.

Jody’s love for athletics is deeply rooted in her family. Her parents were both physical education teachers and coaches, with her mother playing a pivotal role in advancing intercollegiate women’s sports in Illinois.
