Dreams Can Come True
Dreams come true at Dartmouth when the vision of the administration and the passion of the alumni join forces. What was once wishful thinking about enhancing the future of the basketball program has been transformed into REALITY.
The locker room has been expanded and (thank goodness) ventilated!! The walls of the team room, reception area and offices are up and painted and the arena itself got a facelift this summer with new lighting, new paint and a new sound system. Leede Arena looks and sounds great and the players and staff will be moving into our new digs in a matter of weeks.
The renovations are awesome and exciting enough, but the icing on my cake is the people that surround me each and everyday. They are a blessing. I have a great staff!!! Director of Basketball Operations Koren Schram ’09, Assistant Coach Erin Rewalt ’99 TU’04 and basketball legend Yolanda Griffith (WNBA All-Star and Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist) bring passion, enthusiasm, knowledge and energy to work everyday.
Then there are the players. There are a lot of new faces and it will take time to get to know them, but I can’t wait to get into the gym with them. They love the game and it shows! So we have a lot in common :)
Finally, there are the alums. Their passion for Dartmouth is legendary. They have always been there for me, for the program and for Dartmouth. They paved the way as undergrads and sustain the program from their perches in the “real world”
I think its safe to say, I am perhaps the luckiest person in the world because I live my dream each and every day!
Until next time,
Chris
