From the Desk of the Athletic Director
By Neil Bailey,
Director of Athletics, Walsingham Academy
At Walsingham Academy, we pride ourselves on
providing a 21st Century education for our students. Striving to be ahead of the curve, we are not bogged
down by excessive testing or by artificial hoops
created by governmental bureaucracies. We are able to
incorporate technology, cooperation, leadership, and
problem solving into the lessons our children learn on
a daily basis. We understand the role that athletics play
in preparing our students for the future and in creating
a healthy, vibrant learning community. Over the past
year, we have been intentional in strengthening all of
the connections that make us who we are and bringing
all of the
elements of the
Walsingham
community
together.
This past year
has been filled
with many
highlights:
introducing
new traditions
such as the
“Under the
Lights” games,
the new Trojan
logo, and
Lower School
Recognition
Nights at big
basketball
games. These
are all things that bring us together, students, faculty,
parents, and the greater community. By sharing these
moments, we are better able to enhance the things that
make Walsingham great and better prepared to confront
our challenges together. Our athletic department
embraces the challenge of being a catalyst for our
community, and we will continue to seek new ways to
strengthen those bonds moving forward.
The 2013-14 school year was a great one in so many
ways, including incredible leadership from our senior
class, huge wins, and some unbelievable performances
from our students. School records were set, milestones
reached, and tough lessons learned.Twelve percent of
our senior class will continue competing in athletics at
the collegiate level, compared to the national average of
6
2%. It was also a very challenging year, with our teams
facing untimely injuries, very tough opponents, and a lot
of close losses.
The new school year offers a fresh start and we are
moving aggressively into the future with heightened
expectations, a vigorous work ethic, and the confidence
that we can continue to build on the great tradition
of success in Trojan Athletics. Our students have been
participating in our first-ever, year-round strength and
conditioning program that will not only give our young
people an opportunity to get healthier and stronger, but
also allow them
to develop the
perseverance,
resilience, and
sheer toughness
needed to
succeed not only
in athletics but
also in today’s
society. We have
bolstered our
already strong
coaching staff
with more great
coaches and
educators who
will help inspire
and guide our
students to
success. Our
coaching staff
now includes
Academic All-Americans, National Champions, State
Champions, and nationally recognized experts in their
fields.Though accomplished, they are hard at work every
day trying to get better. Our facilities, already among the
best in the area, are being improved to give our students
and community the very best we have to offer.
In the following pages you will read about some of the
tremendous people that will lead our programs into the
future; bright, talented, and hard working; they are up
to the challenge of the heightened expectations of the
2014-15 school year. They understand their importance
and their role in our learning community and they will
represent all of us very well.
Go Trojans!

Q & A with Ashley Barnes, Class of 2015
Sports: Basketball, Field Hockey, and Soccer
Q. How long have you been a student at Walsingham
Academy? What role does athletics play in the
Walsingham experience?
A. I have been a student at Walsingham Academy since
Kindergarten. Athletics has played an enormously
large role in my Walsingham experience. I remember
looking forward to being able to participate in the sixth
grade, as well as having some of my best memories at
Walsingham on a sports team.
Q. What’s your secret for balancing sports, maintaining
your grades, and a social life?
A. Balancing sports, athletics, and a social life is not
an easy feat and one that I struggle with during every
sports season. My personal strategy is prioritizing
what’s thrown at me. School always takes priority over
sports, but most times I can manage to give both my full
attention. When I can’t, it’s just something that I have
to cope with by doing my best in the given situation.
In a certain way, athletics becomes a social life for me.
However, off the field, I usually have time to participate
in many social functions, but I think it is safe to say
playing three sports and balancing school and social
activities at Walsingham leads to a very busy schedule.
Q. Describe your basketball experience at Walsingham
Academy. Why do you love participating?
A. My basketball experience at Walsingham has been
great. Alongside doing our best in games, it has been
a memorable experience to build and strengthen the
relationships with my friends on the court. We have
become a family and we win and lose together.
Q. What’s the best piece of advice you can share with
today’s young student athlete?
A.The best piece of advice I can offer would be to give
one hundred percent in everything you do. A game is
a short period of time in which one has to try their
best.The real challenge, however, is giving it your all
in practice. Although it sounds cliché,“practice makes
perfect” really does ring true.
Q. What roles have coaches played in your life? Are there
any interactions with your Walsingham coaches that
have made you a better individual on or off the court or
field?
A.The coaches that I have had at Walsingham have
all had different styles and constantly challenge me
to adapt to them. All the coaches I have had have
supported me on and off the court.
Q. What college would you like to attend? What are your
career aspirations? Do you aspire to play sports at the
college level?
A. I am very undecided about college and my future.
I would like to attend a college that challenges me
academically, but also one with a sports program that I
might fit into whether through the school, through club
athletics, or through my support as a fan. Playing sports
at a college level is a fantastic opportunity that I will
welcome with open arms if it comes my way, but it is
not my only aspiration on the collegiate level.
Q. What is your favorite quote?
A. My favorite quote is “Life begins at the end of your
comfort zone.” It is a quote from Neale Donald Walsch
that I feel embodies my approach to both sports and
academics.
8
Q & A with Ryan Gallaccio, Class of 2017
Sports: Baseball and Basketball
A. I have been a student at Walsingham Academy for
three years now. Walsingham athletics are central to
our school spirit and a time for the students to develop
bonds with others.
A. Unlike nonparticipating students, we don’t always
have the luxury of being able to talk to teachers after
school, so if I am uncertain of something from the
classroom I go into school early for advice. Nearly all
of my social life is involved with the team, so playing
baseball is one way of socializing for me.
Q. Describe your baseball experience at Walsingham
A. Baseball at Walsingham Academy has provided
me moments that I will remember for the rest of my
life. My teammates, who have become more like
brothers than friends, have been there for me through
the normal ups and downs of sports and school. We
really are a family. For me, playing baseball has always
been my passion. I truly believe the love I have for the
game started even before I was born; baseball is just a
family tradition for me. For someone, following several
generations of baseball players, it was just natural
for me to grow up playing the game. Knowing
that, it makes for a great feeling to be on
the hill and know that everyone is backing
me, even if they aren’t there watching in
person.
Q. What’s the best piece of advice you can
share with today’s young student athlete?
A. Get your school work done. It may be
hard to have a game after school, in Virginia
Beach or Richmond, get home around 10:30
PM or 11:00 PM and still know you have a
ton of homework to get done before the
next day. Many times you just want to get
that shower and go to bed, but you just
have to stick it out and get it done, so you
don’t miss your assignments or have to do
make up work.
Q. What roles have coaches played in your
life? Are there any interactions with your
Walsingham coaches that have made you a
better individual on or off the court or field?
A. Besides working on my game, I see my
coaches almost every day during season and
by their own experiences and stories, or
the rules that they set during season, they’re
2014 • Game On at Walsingham Academy helping me become the player I want to be. In terms
of baseball, Walsingham is still small on the baseball
radar, so the team and our coaches developed a “David
and Goliath” mindset; which means we schedule games
against the bigger schools with deeper, older rosters.
We learned early that we won’t back down, because if
we try, no matter the odds, it’s still a better chance than
when you’re not trying at all.
college level?
A. Right now, the top schools I am interested in are,
Liberty University, the University of Virginia, and the
United States Naval Academy. I hope later in my life
to become a member of the United States Navy. If
my skills on the field continue to grow, and I have the
opportunity to play in college, I would love to play for
my college team.
A. My favorite quote is “Every champion was once a
contender that refused to give up.”
9
Q & A with Abby Cryts, Class of 2015
Sports: Field Hockey and Soccer
Academy? What role does athletics play in the Walsingham
experience?
honestly the best decision I have made. Our team has grown a
lot over the years. We have many talented players and we have
a new coach this year who is going to really help better our
field play and tactical skills. I have always loved being a part
of the Walsingham field hockey program because everyone is
encouraging and they push me to be my best.
A. I have been a student at Walsingham Academy since the
fourth grade. Athletics play a huge role in my experience
at Walsingham, being a part of the soccer and field hockey
teams are the best part about my school experience.The
sports I play are not the only sports that have made my
experience better. I love to go out and watch all the sports
each season and cheer on my friends. Everyone really gets
into the games whether it’s basketball or baseball or soccer
and it’s just a lot of fun and adds to the school spirit. Sports
really bring our whole school together.
Q. What’s the best piece of advice you can share with today’s
young student athlete?
Q. What’s your secret for balancing sports, maintaining your
grades, and a social life?
A. Balancing sports and schoolwork can be really hard.
Getting home late from games can tire me out and I won’t
want to do my work, but I have noticed that during the fall
and spring seasons when I play field hockey and soccer is
when I have the best grades. Sports are a push for me to do
better in my school work too because I know I can’t play if I
fall behind. I want to play field hockey in college and I won’t
be able to do this if I get bad grades. Balancing sports with my
social life can sometimes be challenging because I have field
hockey tournaments almost every weekend, but I also have
a social life within field hockey because I’m friends with the
people on my travel teams and we are all really close-knit and
a lot of fun.
Q. Describe your field hockey experience at Walsingham
A. My field hockey experience at Walsingham
has been great. I started playing in
seventh grade.The reason I even
started field hockey was not
because I wanted to play
but because one of my
friends was playing
and she really
wanted me to play
too; at first I said
“no” but then
gave in. It was
A.The best piece of advice I can share with today’s young
student athlete is to keep up your grades and try to do the
most with the sport you’re playing. A lot of people don’t
realize that if you are trying to play a sport in college no
matter how good you are, grades are a huge part in a college’s
decision for you to play for them. It took me a little time to
realize that, but throughout my recruiting process one of the
most common things college coaches stress to me, among
others, is to keep up my grades. Also, do more in your sport
by joining club and travel teams and doing camps and clinics.
Those help so much. My junior year of high school I joined
different travel teams for field hockey and did camps and
clinics and the amount of skill these teams camps and clinics
taught me and how much better they made me at the sport
and my level of playing in just a year is amazing.
Q. What roles have coaches played in your life? Are there any
interactions with your Walsingham coaches that have made
you a better individual on or off the field?
A. Coaches have played a huge role in my life. I love being
pushed and constantly told not to give up and try harder and
that’s what all of my coaches do. I also know that I do not
know everything about field hockey and still have a lot to
learn so I love that I get a chance to learn from my coaches
that I have for my high school and travel teams.They are
constantly pushing me and teaching me new things and
making me a well-rounded player so that I can reach a new
level of play everyday. Without my coaches I would not be the
player I am today.
career aspirations? Do you aspire to play sports at the college
level?
A. When I go to college I aspire to major in either business or
criminology. My dream is to play field hockey at CNU, which
is an amazing school that has one of the best field hockey
programs in their league. Playing field hockey in college is
my dream and that is why I push myself to get better and
stronger in the sport everyday. I know playing at a college
level is more challenging then playing in high school.
A. My favorite quote is “The difference between the
impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.”
10 Game On at Walsingham Academy • 2014
Q & A with Thomas Chisam, Class of 2015
Sports: Basketball and Baseball
A. I am going into my eighth year at Walsingham
Academy. I started in the fifth grade. Athletics played
a huge role in my Walsingham experience. I met great
friends and learned so much participating in soccer
until the eighth grade, and playing both basketball and
baseball through the varsity level.
A. My favorite quote is “It’s not the size of the dog in the
fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.” – Mark Twain
A. Organization and motivation. I keep everything
organized - it makes life easier. I always know my tasks
and when they need to be completed. I stay motivated
with school work, knowing I can look forward to a
practice, a game, or just hanging out with friends.
Q. Describe your basketball experience at Walsingham
A. I have been playing basketball at Walsingham since
sixth grade.The coaches and teammates I’ve had
along the way have been awesome.The whole school
supports the teams. I love having support not only
from the student body but the faculty as well.
A. Go out and enjoy the sport you’re playing.Try every
sport and never give up on your aspirations.
Q. What roles have coaches played in your life? Are
there any interactions with your Walsingham coaches
that have made you a better individual on or off the
court or field?
A. Coaches have always had a major impact on my
life. Both of my varsity coaches, Billy Barnes and Ian
Heisel, have been great role models for me.They care
about their players and always push them to do their
best. Whether they’re checking in on an injury or
giving me advice, I listen to them, confident that they
have my best interest in mind.
Q. What college would you like to attend? What are
your career aspirations? Do you aspire to play sports
at the college level?
A. I have verbally committed to James Madison
University to play baseball. I am interested in sports
medicine.

Varsity Boys Soccer finished the year ranked #13 in the state, making 2013 one of the
most successful seasons. Defense was stressed first and foremost, and that team focus
produced five shutouts and an overall goals against average that dropped by over a
goal from last season. Highlights included a 4-0 win over Williamsburg Christian, a 2-1
win on the road against Portsmouth Christian, and a late season 3-0 win over Norfolk
Christian. By far the greatest highlight was the “Under the Lights”
game at William & Mary’s soccer stadium. Key to the team’s success was the outstanding leadership from senior captains Cole
Hutcherson and Liam Kiniry.

Injuries dogged Varsity Field Hockey throughout the season,
but the girls came to every game and practice ready to give
it their all. Ashley Barnes (’15) was an offensive force,
accounting for about 70% of the team’s goals. Four eighth
graders were contributors, including starting goalkeeper Maggie Kauffman, all of whom
benefited from the strong leadership of Olivia Chohany (’14). The Trojans defeated
Steward School twice, and the experience gained this season will definitely be an asset
going forward.

Volleyball - A Game of Principle
By Coach George Bottles
Varsity Volleyball Head Coach
Most parents will agree sports help to develop
individuals physically, emotionally, mentally and socially.
Positive Coaching Alliance Founder Jim Thompson’s
Triple Impact Competitor model can sum up the
principles of that development nicely:
• Personal Mastery - Making oneself better.
• Leadership - Making one’s teammates better.
• Honoring the Game - Making the game better.
To make the player, the team, and the game better, I
promote teaching the athletes the “why” portion of “the
way we do things in our gym.”That is, the bigger picture,
the long term goals, the principles, the philosophy, what
makes us Walsingham Academy Trojans.
Rule: a prescribed guide for conduct or action
Principle: a basis of conduct or management; a
guiding sense of obligations of right conduct
At first glance, there
seems to be little
difference in these
definitions of rule
and principle. Roy
H. Williams, a best
selling author and
business marketing
consultant, puts
it this way;“Laid
side-by-side, a stick
and a rope have a
similar profile. Rules
are like sticks.You
can prod people
with them.You can
threaten people
with them.You can beat people with them, but you
cannot lead people with them. When a rule doesn’t
fit the circumstance, your only choice is to break it.
Principles are like rope, able to be wrapped around even
the most weirdly shaped problems.They are less brittle
than rules, and stronger. Principles whisper priceless
advice and people are happily led by them. A rule
requires obedience. A principle requires contemplation.”
Indeed, rules tend to be external motivators while belief
in a principle is an internal motivator. An example from
family life would be comparing the rule of “do not
hit your sister” with the principle of “be kind to your
2014 • Game On at Walsingham Academy sister.” If you live the principle, adherence to the rule is
automatic.
Walsingham Academy’s website reads “Walsingham
Academy was built on the traditions of academic
excellence, faith and the development of the whole
child. Vibrant and challenging programs in academics,
service, the arts and athletics contribute to independent,
critical thinkers prepared to be responsible stewards
of the world.” How does volleyball fit into the bigger
picture of preparing responsible stewards? One way is
to train by principle rather than by fiat. If players will
buy into technical, psychological, and tactical principles
of the volleyball training process, that athlete is now
responsible for self-monitoring and self-correction. After
all, that is what we want for our children: to become
independent, critical thinkers who are capable of
assessing information and situations, forming decisions,
and then self-correcting.
I am not suggesting
rules are
unnecessary, but
rules should have an
underlying principle
that an individual
can use to make
sense of the rules.
A framework of
“we do it this way,
because…” enables
team sports such
as volleyball to be a
wonderful avenue
to learn principles
applicable to many
of the challenges we
will face in life.
I’ll finish by quoting some timeless principles for life and
the volleyball court from the familiar beginning portion
of Reinhold Niebuhr’s “The Serenity Prayer:”
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Go Trojans!

Q & A with Drew Hartman, Class of 2015
Sport: Soccer
experience?
A. I have been a student at Walsingham Academy since I
was in Kindergarten. With my senior year approaching, I
can say that looking back on all of the good times I have
had in high school a majority of them have come through
athletics.The Walsingham experience is about finding
yourself through faith, academics, and extracurricular
activities and I cannot imagine having had that experience
without athletics playing a crucial role in my high school
career. Whether it is playing a soccer game against our
rivals under the lights at William & Mary’s stadium or
cheering on my friends at a basketball game, athletics at
Walsingham Academy is truly part of the experience.
A.There is no one secret that makes balancing everything
easy. I put my grades first, and at Walsingham, our coaches
tell us to do the same.The coaches
understand that making good marks is
more important than maybe missing a
few practices to receive extra help in a
subject you might be struggling in. As
for sports and social life, I have always
been lucky to be on teams with my
good friends. We have a good time
together while we do what we lovewhich is play soccer. Since we have
a small community at Walsingham,
many people find this to be the
case, and it makes balancing
everything much easier.
Q. Describe your soccer
experience at Walsingham
Academy. Why do you love
participating?
A. My soccer experience at
Walsingham started when
I was in sixth grade. I had
played soccer all my life up
to that point, but I had never
absolutely loved the game.
Then, I went to the Varsity
team’s state playoff with some
of my friends to watch the
game and I fell in love with
soccer. Watching some of
Walsingham’s greatest soccer
22 players ever make beating the fifth ranked team in the state
look so easy made them my instant role models, as well as
my friends’ role models too. Since then, I have worked to
make our team as good as the team I saw play six years ago.
I guess I love participating because of the tradition that
comes with Walsingham soccer, and I am hoping that on
my last year playing soccer for Walsingham that our team
can set a new standard of tradition for the school.
A. If you are going to make a mistake, make it going as
hard as you can. My soccer coach last year told me that
and it has stuck with me until now because there is truth
to the statement.Try as hard as you can in everything you
do, because you will make mistakes and you will not be
perfect, but at least make sure you put forth your best
effort.
Q. What roles have coaches played in your life? Are there
any interactions with your Walsingham coaches that have
made you a better individual on or off the field?
A. Coaches, to me, have been people to look up to.They are
out there coaching us because they want to make us better
people. Whether it is a post game speech or a story of their
experiences, coaches are always teaching me how to be a
better person. Coach Plank is the coach I can always come
to if I need advice or someone to talk to about a problem
I am having and he always knows the right thing to do. I
can say without any doubt that he has made me a better
person.
college level?
A. I am still looking at many different colleges right
now, but my top two choices so far are Penn State and
the University of Virginia. I would one day like to be an
orthopedic surgeon after I have served in the Air Force.
I do not want to play sports at the college level, but I am
sure that the leadership skills I have learned through high
school athletics will help me pursue an Air Force ROTC
scholarship.
A. My favorite quote is “you reap what you sow.” It is the
truest thing I have ever heard, because you get what you
put in. Hard work will always pay off.
Q & A with Marisa Ross, Class of 2015
Sport: Soccer
experience?
A. I have attended Walsingham Academy since sophomore year.
It was a difficult transition switching after freshman year in
public school to Walsingham because I had recently moved to
Virginia, and I had made a great group of friends freshman year.
I can be shy when I meet new people, but once I get to know
them, I open up.Trying out for the soccer team sophomore
year introduced me to the students in my grade and those
older and younger than me, so I was exposed to the entire
Walsingham community. I was able to form closer relationships
with people from every grade. Being a part of the team helped
me settle in and become more comfortable with a new school.
Q. What’s your secret for balancing sports, maintaining your
grades, and a social life?
A. I am not sure that I have a definite secret. I just do it. I make
a to do list of my assignments and figure out the best approach
for me to get everything finished. I try to plan ahead. Study
halls in school are fantastic gifts that allow me to help keep
my workload organized. I take advantage of them so that I will
not be completely swamped with homework when I get home
after a game, or I will try to eliminate as much homework as I
can so that I can create more free time over the weekend.
Q. Describe your soccer experience at Walsingham Academy.
Why do you love participating?
A. Being on the soccer team extended my Walsingham family. It
is an amazing group of friends that support each other during
games and in practice. Win or lose, we cheer each other up and
cheer each other on. I love the way the team connects both
on and off the field, and the thrill I get when I watch the team
play cohesively from inside the goal box. We have a strong
bond with one another in school and on the field, and I think
it shows every time we play.
essential goalie strategy and knowledge and has brought in
her husband to train with me one-on-one. In doing this, she
showed me that improving yourself can have an immense
impact on the overall cohesion of the team. In both sports
I have learned that hard work and dedication come with
rewards greater than yourself.
Q. What college would you like to attend? What are your career
aspirations? Do you aspire to play sports at the college level?
A. I would like to attend the University of Notre Dame,
Virginia Tech, or University of Virginia. I would like to study
engineering or an applied science. I want to work with the
environment and the development of renewable energy
sources to make them more accessible and widely used. In
terms of sports, I would like to continue playing soccer at
the college level. I love soccer and being a part of a team.
Playing at the college level would allow me to keep a sense
of camaraderie and challenge me throughout my college
experience.
A. One of my favorite quotes is from Collin Powell,“Always
show more kindness than seems necessary, because the
person receiving it needs it more than you will ever know.” I
connected with this quote because it shows how far a small
act of kindness can go. It sends the message that we should
strive to be kind to everyone we meet because everyone has
a different story, and something as simple as kindness gives
people something to remember. Kindness is contagious, so
hopefully generously giving kindness to others will inspire
them to share it.
Q. What’s the best piece of advice you can share with today’s
young student athlete?
A. I would tell a student athlete to allow their passion to
drive them. If you really love your sport and the way it
makes you feel, then allow that passion to fuel you. Even
though you might not feel like going to practice at
times, you are practicing for something you love.The
more you put yourself into your sport, the more you
get out of it.
Q. What roles have coaches played in your life?
Are there any interactions with your Walsingham
coaches that have made you a better individual on
or off the field?
A. Coaches are my non-academic teachers.They
teach me the basics of sports, but then go beyond
that and show me that the character that you have on
the field applies to life. My coaches for Tae Kwon Do
have taught me the importance of determination and
perseverance, especially on a personal level.They taught
me that sometimes you have to fight through obstacles to
attain your goals. My Walsingham soccer coach has reached
out to me in many different ways. She genuinely cares about

six years.
The JV Track & Field team had a very strong
season, highlighted by wins over Norfolk Collegiate at the Hampton Roads Academy meet and
top-three finishes at the Walsingham Invitational,
where the JV Girls finished just one point out of
first place. The athletes worked hard all season

New Strength & Conditioning Program
Gives Trojan Athletes an Edge
In addition to Tadd Bower, the
Walsingham Academy coaching
staff is volunteering their time to
get the Strength & Conditioning
Program started off on the right
foot. Coaches are encouraging
their athletes to participate in
one-hour sessions a minimum
of twice a week.Training began
with Pre-Testing, which was
conducted during the first week
of the program. Athletes were
tested on their speed, power, and
agility and were even run through
basic movement screens to assess
their risk of injury. Athletes with
problematic movement patterns
were taught corrective exercises to
do on their own. Baseline scores
on athletic tests will be used to
track the progress of the athletes
throughout the course of the year.
The summer of 2014 brings with it
an exciting new opportunity for the
athletes and coaches at Walsingham
Academy. Thanks to the generosity
of the Walsingham Athletic Booster
Club, the Strength & Conditioning
Program was launched in early June
with the purpose of helping Trojan
athletes avoid injuries and maximize
their performance on the field and
court.
Increasing the excitement
surrounding the program is that it is
being led by Tidewater Performance,
a well-known performance training
company in Hampton Roads.
Tidewater Performance is a division
of Tidewater Physical Therapy, Inc.,
which was founded in 1986 to
support the active work, play, and
daily living needs of people in the
local community. The Performance
Division of Tidewater was created
to offer additional community
services related to health, wellness,
injury rehabilitation and prevention
and athletic performance.
Tidewater Performance offers
customized, instructor-led programs
for personal training, semi-private
groups and athletic teams out of
their three Performance Centers
located in Gloucester, Newport
News and Suffolk.
The Strength & Conditioning
Program is being led by Tidewater
Performance Coach Tadd Bower. Tadd is certified in strength and
conditioning through the NSCA
and USAW and is also a Level 1
Crossfit Coach. Tadd has a Bachelor
of Science in Kinesiology from the
College of William & Mary, where
he was a four-year letter winner for
the baseball team as a first baseman and left fielder. Tadd
brings with him a wealth of knowledge on the human
body and an extreme passion for helping young athletes
improve.
30 Once initial testing was completed,
athletes began their training
program which focuses on dynamic
stretching, core stability, balance,
foot speed, running technique,
agility, strength and power. In
keeping with the Tidewater
Performance philosophy, all
athletes are required to master
basic movement patterns before
progressing to more complex
movements or heavier weights.
The purpose of the program
is to give each athlete a safe,
monitored atmosphere in which
they will safely master fundamental
movements, learn technique, gain
strength, and increase their power.
The pilot year of the Strength and
Conditioning Program is underway
and gaining momentum with
increased participation each week.
Walsingham is excited to bring Tidewater Performance
on board and looks forward to offering athletes a more
robust training atmosphere.
