or her highest potential, accept and cope with

success and defeat, and apply thought and

action to better the student, team, school, and

community.

At Walsingham Academy, we pride ourselves on providinga21stCenturyeducationforourstudents.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.

The2013-14schoolyearwasagreatoneinsomanyways, 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

2%.Itwasalsoaverychallengingyear,withourteamsfacing 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

AcademicAll-Americans,NationalChampions,StateChampions,andnationallyrecognizedexpertsintheirfields. 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.

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.ThebestpieceofadviceIcanofferwouldbetogiveone 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. How long have you been a student at Walsingham Academy? What role does athletics play in the Walsingham experience?A.IhavebeenastudentatWalsinghamAcademyforthree years now. Walsingham athletics are central to our school spirit and a time for the students to develop bonds with others.

Q. What’s your secret for balancing sports, maintaining your grades, and a social life?A. Unlike nonparticipating students, we don’t always have the luxury of being able to talk to teachers after school,soifIamuncertainofsomethingfromtheclassroomIgointoschoolearlyforadvice.Nearlyallof my social life is involved with the team, so playing baseballisonewayofsocializingforme.

Q. Describe your baseball experience at Walsingham Academy. Why do you love participating?A. Baseball at Walsingham Academy has provided memomentsthatIwillrememberfortherestofmylife. 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 beenmypassion.ItrulybelievetheloveIhaveforthegamestartedevenbeforeIwasborn;baseballisjustafamily 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.

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.

Q. What college would you like to attend? What are your career aspirations?

2013 proved to be another excellent season for Varsity Girls Cross Country.

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 suc-cess 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.

Most parents will agree sports help to develop individuals physically, emotionally, mentally and socially. PositiveCoachingAllianceFounderJimThompson’sTripleImpactCompetitormodelcansumuptheprinciples of that development nicely:

• PersonalMastery-Makingoneselfbetter.

• Leadership-Makingone’steammatesbetter.

• HonoringtheGame-Makingthegamebetter.

Tomaketheplayer,theteam,andthegamebetter,Ipromote 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 actionPrinciple: 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,rulestendtobeexternalmotivatorswhilebeliefin 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

sister.”Ifyoulivetheprinciple,adherencetotheruleisautomatic.

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 totrainbyprincipleratherthanbyfiat.Ifplayerswillbuy 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.

Iamnotsuggestingrules 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’llfinishbyquotingsometimelessprinciplesforlifeandthe 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!

Varsity Boys Basketball had an exceptional season, compiling a record of 22-8 and advancing to both the TCIS Championship and the VISAA State Tournament Final Four. The Trojans started the season by winning the Walsingham Thanksgiving Invitational and later picked up quality non-conference wins over schools such as Atlantic Shores, Williamsburg Christian Academy, and Tabb High School. Walsingham finished in second place in the TCIS regular season, with a record of 8-1, and would defeat Norfolk Academy and Bishop Sullivan Catholic to reach the champion-ship game. Billy Barnes (’14) was named TCIS All-Conference First Team and TCIS All-Tournament Team; Miguel Kissoon (’14) was named TCIS all-Conference Second Team, and Braden Sutton (’14) was named TCIS

All-Conference Second Team and TCIS All-Tournament Team. Both Billy Barnes and Braden Sutton eclipsed the 1,000 career points scored mark, and Coach Billy Barnes was named TCIS Coach of the Year for his efforts.

The Academy’s athletic program enables our children to develop skills for success that will serve them throughout their lives. Support of our athletic program makes a significant impact on each team; it not only affords our teams all the tools for success, it plays a major role in building school pride and spirit. The success of Trojan athletes is determined in no small part by the support of the greater Walsingham community.

The Athletic Booster Club plays a key role in supporting these efforts by providing additional equipment and resources not covered in the Academy’s operating budget. Last year’s contributions funded new lacrosse helmets, field hockey goals, record boards, awards for senior recognition, increased coaching salaries, covered the cost of introducing a new strength and conditioning coach, and assisted with the cost of maintaining an athletic trainer.

In years past, funds raised have allowed us to purchase a pitching machine and track safety cage, interactive scoreboards, high jump landing pad, 8-lane track timer, install an outfield baseball fence, improve our fitness center, help with the purchase of a new activity bus, provide new basketball hoops for the Lower School, resurface the tennis courts, and purchase bleachers and new audio system for Chismer Athletic Complex.

Members of the Booster Club are entitled to benefits that include reduced rates for sports physicals, admission to the hospitality room, free admission to home games, and tickets to Spirit Dinner (benefits vary at each level). In addition to sponsoring the Sports Awards each season, the Booster Club sponsors other special events including its Annual Golf Tournament, Spirit Night, and BBQ Dinner. The Booster Club hosts Sports Physicals Night, provides volunteers to assist at home games and tournaments, and manages the Spirit Store. Many thanks to the donors who support the athletic program through the Booster Club!

A.IhavebeenastudentatWalsinghamAcademysinceIwasinKindergarten.Withmysenioryearapproaching,IcansaythatlookingbackonallofthegoodtimesIhavehad in high school a majority of them have come through athletics. The Walsingham experience is about finding yourself through faith, academics, and extracurricular activitiesandIcannotimaginehavinghadthatexperiencewithout athletics playing a crucial role in my high school career. Whether it is playing a soccer game against our rivalsunderthelightsatWilliam&Mary’sstadiumorcheering 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.Iputmygradesfirst,andatWalsingham,ourcoaches

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 forsportsandsociallife,Ihavealwaysbeen lucky to be on teams with my good friends. We have a good time

together while we do what we love- which 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 Iwasinsixthgrade.Ihadplayed soccer all my life up tothatpoint,butIhadneverabsolutely loved the game. Then,IwenttotheVarsityteam’s state playoff with some of my friends to watch the gameandIfellinlovewithsoccer. Watching some of Walsingham’s greatest soccer

players ever make beating the fifth ranked team in the state look so easy made them my instant role models, as well as myfriends’rolemodelstoo.Sincethen,IhaveworkedtomakeourteamasgoodastheteamIsawplaysixyearsago.IguessIloveparticipatingbecauseofthetraditionthatcomeswithWalsinghamsoccer,andIamhopingthatonmy last year playing soccer for Walsingham that our team can set a new standard of tradition for the school.


A.Ifyouaregoingtomakeamistake,makeitgoingashard 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.


A.Coaches,tome,havebeenpeopletolookupto.Theyareout 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 betterperson.CoachPlankisthecoachIcanalwayscometoifIneedadviceorsomeonetotalktoaboutaproblemIamhavingandhealwaysknowstherightthingtodo.Ican say without any doubt that he has made me a better person.


A.Iamstilllookingatmanydifferentcollegesrightnow, but my top two choices so far are Penn State and theUniversityofVirginia.IwouldonedayliketobeanorthopedicsurgeonafterIhaveservedintheAirForce.Idonotwanttoplaysportsatthecollegelevel,butIamsurethattheleadershipskillsIhavelearnedthroughhighschoolathleticswillhelpmepursueanAirForceROTCscholarship.


A.Myfavoritequoteis“youreapwhatyousow.”ItisthetruestthingIhaveeverheard,becauseyougetwhatyouput in. Hard work will always pay off.

A.Iwouldtellastudentathletetoallowtheirpassiontodrivethem.Ifyoureallyloveyoursportandthewayitmakes 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.


A.Coachesaremynon-academicteachers.Theyteach me the basics of sports, but then go beyond that and show me that the character that you have on thefieldappliestolife.MycoachesforTaeKwonDohave 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 improving my skills. She gives me packets to read about

essential goalie strategy and knowledge and has brought in herhusbandtotrainwithmeone-on-one.Indoingthis,sheshowed me that improving yourself can have an immense impactontheoverallcohesionoftheteam.InbothsportsIhavelearnedthathardworkanddedicationcomewithrewards greater than yourself.

The Varsity Girls Soccer team had a tremendous season, finishing with as many wins and conference

wins as the last two seasons combined. Highlights included big victories over Greenbrier Christian, Stew-

ard School, and Nansemond-Suffolk, but a 2-1 overtime victory over Norfolk Christian in a downpour

was perhaps the sweetest of all. The team finished ranked #10 in the VISAA State Division II polls, and

the program appears poised to make the leap to the State Playoffs in 2015. Christine McBeath (’16) led

the Trojans in points (18) and was named TCIS All-Conference First Team for her efforts; Reilly Pieri

(’14) led Walsingham with seven goals and earned TCIS All-Conference Second Team.

2014 was a tremendous year for the Varsity

Track & Field program. Among the high points

were an outstanding showing by the boys in

the Conn Madden Relays, the girls winning the

Hampton Roads Academy meet, Duncan Hamra

(’14) claiming gold in the Discus Throw at the

TCIS Championships, and the team of Isabella

Simmons (‘17), Lisette Brondyke (‘15), Angel

DeModna (‘16), and Reilly Pieri (‘14) breaking

the Academy record in the Sprint Medley Relay.

The highlight of the season was the Walsingham

Invitational, as both teams finished third in the

largest event the Academy has hosted in the last

six years.

The JV Track & Field team had a very strong

season, highlighted by wins over Norfolk Col-

legiate 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

and will be major contributors to the varsity

program in the coming years.

Thesummerof2014bringswithitan exciting new opportunity for the athletes and coaches at Walsingham Academy. Thanks to the generosity of the Walsingham Athletic Booster Club,theStrength&ConditioningProgram was launched in early June with the purpose of helping Trojan athletesavoidinjuriesandmaximizetheir performance on the field and court.

Increasingtheexcitementsurrounding 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 ofTidewaterPhysicalTherapy,Inc.,whichwasfoundedin1986tosupport the active work, play, and daily living needs of people in the local community. The Performance DivisionofTidewaterwascreatedto offer additional community services related to health, wellness, injury rehabilitation and prevention and athletic performance. Tidewater Performance offers customized,instructor-ledprogramsfor personal training, semi-private groups and athletic teams out of theirthreePerformanceCenterslocated in Gloucester, Newport News and Suffolk.

TheStrength&ConditioningProgram is being led by Tidewater PerformanceCoachTaddBower.Tadd is certified in strength and conditioningthroughtheNSCAandUSAWandisalsoaLevel1CrossfitCoach.TaddhasaBachelorof Science in Kinesiology from the CollegeofWilliam&Mary,wherehe 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.

InadditiontoTaddBower,theWalsingham Academy coaching staff is volunteering their time to gettheStrength&ConditioningProgram started off on the right foot.Coachesareencouragingtheir 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.

Once initial testing was completed, athletes began their training program which focuses on dynamic stretching, core stability, balance, foot speed, running technique, agility,strengthandpower.Inkeeping 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 ConditioningProgramisunderwayand 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.
