Support your teammates: this is the message from David Manning, First Hockey Coach, at the start of the Upper School Athletic Assembly.
Upper School students gathered in Ketchum Auditorium on April 1 to start their day in celebration of winter sports successes. The Middle School Athletic Assembly was held on March 31.
Mr. Manning thanked the coaches for their flexibility this school year as they continue to work through the challenges placed in their path by the pandemic.
He praised athletic support personnel, the communications team, strength and conditioning staff, facilities and transportation staff, athletic therapists, dining hall staff, and others who work to allow SAC athletes to compete, find joy, and be together.
Mr. Manning also gave a shoutout to SAC’s student-athletes: “Seeing you achieve and grow as people and athletes is truly rewarding.”
