Teamwork

I thought I would share with you my version of teamwork.

The coaches in the Athletic Department are always staying fit through practices with their team, training on their own and by being good role models of being in good shape.

And today began Lunchtime Hoops with the coaches.

We had six coaches and staff play. It wound up with a rather intense game of 3-on-3. Women’s soccer, men’s lacrosse, men’s soccer, women’s basketball and I all participated in staying young!

I must say there is a reason for each of us why we never played basketball and excelled in our respective sports. However, it was a great deal of fun, and it was even more exciting watching members of the physical education class stop in and take a look at our talent levels.

There is a certain amount of hysterics watching folks do something they don’t practice doing.

But back to my point, teamwork is valuable in any organization as we all rely on each other to make a difference. With this, I am proud of working with these people because as in our game today, I knew I could count on our men’s lacrosse coach making a basket when we needed and a hard foul from our women’s assistant soccer coach when crunch time came!

As a recruit, a parent, a donor or simply a friend, you must realize how special this organization is as we strive to get better each day whether it is physical fitness or simple conversations. There is uniqueness with this staff and I am excited to be a part of it.

And quite honestly, we want you to be a part of it too!
