The New York State Public High School Athletic Association has designated Oct. 5-7 as Coach Appreciation Days. The Port Jefferson coaches inspire our student-athletes to push themselves to their maximum ability. Our coaches teach their players how to deal with adversity and help develop perseverance, confidence, teamwork and leadership among members of the team.
Coaching doesn’t end once a practice, competition or season concludes. The preparation, communication with parents and advocating for student-athletes is an around-the-clock job.
Adam Sherrard, director of health, physical education, athletics and nursing, said, “I would like to say thank-you to our coaches for all the time you dedicate and the work that you put into having a positive impact on our students’ lives.”
