Unsung heroes: Strength and conditioning team

The strength and conditioning team has worked tirelessly to provide safe and effective opportunities for our 560-plus student-athletes to maintain their competitive edge. Since the summer, they have navigated and adhered to government, NCAA, and College mandates while working around student and personal schedules to serve our community living on campus. Not only are they supporting our students’ training efforts here on College Hill, but they also deliver adaptable online programming to almost 400 students learning remotely.

Their unwavering commitment and selfless attitude have propelled our athletic department to work through many of the challenges that have been presented this year. Our strength staff has an innate ability to find a way to make it work, and their perseverance has given hope for the future to other areas of our department as we look forward to competing again soon.

Thank you for all that you do, Coach Potts, Coach Plunkett, Coach Mowad, Coach Palmasano, and Coach Brown. You are what makes Lafayette College a special place! —Andrew Foster, associate director of athletics, facilities and operations
