"Over the summer I had the opportunity to coach a U12 club softball team. Sharing my knowledge and love for the game was truly rewarding, especially as an athlete myself. Watching the young players grow and improve their skills was a highlight of my summer. I enjoyed every moment, from practices to games. It was so awesome to be able to use what we learn in the classroom in the real world - this experience has only deepened my passion for coaching and continuing my career in the Sport and Recreation field." - Emma Burke '26, Sport and Recreation Management/Coaching/Photography
