From the Desk of the Athletic Director By Neil Bailey, Director of Athletics, Walsingham Academy At Walsingham Academy, we pride ourselves on providing a 21st Century education for our students. 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. The 2013-14 school year was a great one in so many ways, 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%. It was also a very challenging year, with our teams facing 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 Academic All-Americans, National Champions, State Champions, and nationally recognized experts in their fields.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. In the following pages you will read about some of the tremendous people that will lead our programs into the future; bright, talented, and hard working; they are up to the challenge of the heightened expectations of the 2014-15 school year. They understand their importance and their role in our learning community and they will represent all of us very well. Go Trojans!

Q & A with Ashley Barnes, Class of 2015 Sports: Basketball, Field Hockey, and Soccer Q. How long have you been a student at Walsingham Academy? What role does athletics play in the Walsingham experience? A. I have been a student at Walsingham Academy since Kindergarten. Athletics has played an enormously large role in my Walsingham experience. I remember looking forward to being able to participate in the sixth grade, as well as having some of my best memories at Walsingham on a sports team. Q. What’s your secret for balancing sports, maintaining your grades, and a social life? A. Balancing sports, athletics, and a social life is not an easy feat and one that I struggle with during every sports season. My personal strategy is prioritizing what’s thrown at me. School always takes priority over sports, but most times I can manage to give both my full

attention. When I can’t, it’s just something that I have to cope with by doing my best in the given situation. In a certain way, athletics becomes a social life for me. However, off the field, I usually have time to participate in many social functions, but I think it is safe to say playing three sports and balancing school and social activities at Walsingham leads to a very busy schedule. 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.The best piece of advice I can offer would be to give one 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. What roles have coaches played in your life? Are there any interactions with your Walsingham coaches that have made you a better individual on or off the court or field? A.The coaches that I have had at Walsingham have all had different styles and constantly challenge me to adapt to them. All the coaches I have had have supported me on and off the court. Q. What college would you like to attend? What are your career aspirations? Do you aspire to play sports at the college level? A. I am very undecided about college and my future. I would like to attend a college that challenges me academically, but also one with a sports program that I might fit into whether through the school, through club athletics, or through my support as a fan. Playing sports at a college level is a fantastic opportunity that I will welcome with open arms if it comes my way, but it is not my only aspiration on the collegiate level. Q. What is your favorite quote? A. My favorite quote is “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” It is a quote from Neale Donald Walsch that I feel embodies my approach to both sports and academics.

Q & A with Ryan Gallaccio, Class of 2017 Sports: Baseball and Basketball Q. How long have you been a student at Walsingham Academy? What role does athletics play in the Walsingham experience? A. I have been a student at Walsingham Academy for three 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, so if I am uncertain of something from the classroom I go into school early for advice. Nearly all of my social life is involved with the team, so playing baseball is one way of socializing for me. Q. Describe your baseball experience at Walsingham Academy. Why do you love participating? A. Baseball at Walsingham Academy has provided me moments that I will remember for the rest of my life. 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 been my passion. I truly believe the love I have for the game started even before I was born; baseball is just a family 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. Q. What’s the best piece of advice you can share with today’s young student athlete? A. Get your school work done. It may be hard to have a game after school, in Virginia Beach or Richmond, get home around 10:30 PM or 11:00 PM and still know you have a ton of homework to get done before the next day. Many times you just want to get that shower and go to bed, but you just have to stick it out and get it done, so you don’t miss your assignments or have to do make up work. Q. What roles have coaches played in your life? Are there any interactions with your Walsingham coaches that have made you a better individual on or off the court or field? A. Besides working on my game, I see my coaches almost every day during season and by their own experiences and stories, or the rules that they set during season, they’re

2014 • Game On at Walsingham Academy

helping me become the player I want to be. In terms of baseball, Walsingham is still small on the baseball radar, so the team and our coaches developed a “David and Goliath” mindset; which means we schedule games against the bigger schools with deeper, older rosters. 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? Do you aspire to play sports at the college level? A. Right now, the top schools I am interested in are, Liberty University, the University of Virginia, and the United States Naval Academy. I hope later in my life to become a member of the United States Navy. If my skills on the field continue to grow, and I have the opportunity to play in college, I would love to play for my college team. Q. What is your favorite quote? A. My favorite quote is “Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up.”

Q & A with Abby Cryts, Class of 2015 Sports: Field Hockey and Soccer Q. How long have you been a student at Walsingham Academy? What role does athletics play in the Walsingham experience?

honestly the best decision I have made. Our team has grown a lot over the years. We have many talented players and we have a new coach this year who is going to really help better our field play and tactical skills. I have always loved being a part of the Walsingham field hockey program because everyone is encouraging and they push me to be my best.

A. I have been a student at Walsingham Academy since the fourth grade. Athletics play a huge role in my experience at Walsingham, being a part of the soccer and field hockey teams are the best part about my school experience.The sports I play are not the only sports that have made my experience better. I love to go out and watch all the sports each season and cheer on my friends. Everyone really gets into the games whether it’s basketball or baseball or soccer and it’s just a lot of fun and adds to the school spirit. Sports really bring our whole school together.

Q. What’s the best piece of advice you can share with today’s young student athlete?

Q. What’s your secret for balancing sports, maintaining your grades, and a social life? A. Balancing sports and schoolwork can be really hard. Getting home late from games can tire me out and I won’t want to do my work, but I have noticed that during the fall and spring seasons when I play field hockey and soccer is when I have the best grades. Sports are a push for me to do better in my school work too because I know I can’t play if I fall behind. I want to play field hockey in college and I won’t be able to do this if I get bad grades. Balancing sports with my social life can sometimes be challenging because I have field hockey tournaments almost every weekend, but I also have a social life within field hockey because I’m friends with the people on my travel teams and we are all really close-knit and a lot of fun. Q. Describe your field hockey experience at Walsingham Academy. Why do you love participating? A. My field hockey experience at Walsingham has been great. I started playing in seventh grade.The reason I even started field hockey was not because I wanted to play but because one of my friends was playing and she really wanted me to play too; at first I said “no” but then gave in. It was

A.The best piece of advice I can share with today’s young student athlete is to keep up your grades and try to do the most with the sport you’re playing. A lot of people don’t realize that if you are trying to play a sport in college no matter how good you are, grades are a huge part in a college’s decision for you to play for them. It took me a little time to realize that, but throughout my recruiting process one of the most common things college coaches stress to me, among others, is to keep up my grades. Also, do more in your sport by joining club and travel teams and doing camps and clinics. Those help so much. My junior year of high school I joined different travel teams for field hockey and did camps and clinics and the amount of skill these teams camps and clinics taught me and how much better they made me at the sport and my level of playing in just a year is amazing. Q. What roles have coaches played in your life? Are there any interactions with your Walsingham coaches that have made you a better individual on or off the field? A. Coaches have played a huge role in my life. I love being pushed and constantly told not to give up and try harder and that’s what all of my coaches do. I also know that I do not know everything about field hockey and still have a lot to learn so I love that I get a chance to learn from my coaches that I have for my high school and travel teams.They are constantly pushing me and teaching me new things and making me a well-rounded player so that I can reach a new level of play everyday. Without my coaches I would not be the player I am today. Q. What college would you like to attend? What are your career aspirations? Do you aspire to play sports at the college level? A. When I go to college I aspire to major in either business or criminology. My dream is to play field hockey at CNU, which is an amazing school that has one of the best field hockey programs in their league. Playing field hockey in college is my dream and that is why I push myself to get better and stronger in the sport everyday. I know playing at a college level is more challenging then playing in high school. Q. What is your favorite quote? A. My favorite quote is “The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.”

Q & A with Thomas Chisam, Class of 2015 Sports: Basketball and Baseball Q. How long have you been a student at Walsingham Academy? What role does athletics play in the Walsingham experience?

Q. What is your favorite quote?

A. I am going into my eighth year at Walsingham Academy. I started in the fifth grade. Athletics played a huge role in my Walsingham experience. I met great friends and learned so much participating in soccer until the eighth grade, and playing both basketball and baseball through the varsity level.

A. My favorite quote is “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.” – Mark Twain

Q. What’s your secret for balancing sports, maintaining your grades, and a social life? A. Organization and motivation. I keep everything organized - it makes life easier. I always know my tasks and when they need to be completed. I stay motivated with school work, knowing I can look forward to a practice, a game, or just hanging out with friends. Q. Describe your basketball experience at Walsingham Academy. Why do you love participating? A. I have been playing basketball at Walsingham since sixth grade.The coaches and teammates I’ve had along the way have been awesome.The whole school supports the teams. I love having support not only from the student body but the faculty as well. Q. What’s the best piece of advice you can share with today’s young student athlete? A. Go out and enjoy the sport you’re playing.Try every sport and never give up on your aspirations. Q. What roles have coaches played in your life? Are there any interactions with your Walsingham coaches that have made you a better individual on or off the court or field? A. Coaches have always had a major impact on my life. Both of my varsity coaches, Billy Barnes and Ian Heisel, have been great role models for me.They care about their players and always push them to do their best. Whether they’re checking in on an injury or giving me advice, I listen to them, confident that they have my best interest in mind. Q. What college would you like to attend? What are your career aspirations? Do you aspire to play sports at the college level? A. I have verbally committed to James Madison University to play baseball. I am interested in sports medicine.

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 success 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

Volleyball - A Game of Principle By Coach George Bottles Varsity Volleyball Head Coach Most parents will agree sports help to develop individuals physically, emotionally, mentally and socially. Positive Coaching Alliance Founder Jim Thompson’s Triple Impact Competitor model can sum up the principles of that development nicely: • Personal Mastery - Making oneself better. • Leadership - Making one’s teammates better. • Honoring the Game - Making the game better. To make the player, the team, and the game better, I promote 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 action Principle: 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, rules tend to be external motivators while belief in 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.” If you live the principle, adherence to the rule is automatic. 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 to train by principle rather than by fiat. If players will buy 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. I am not suggesting rules 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’ll finish by quoting some timeless principles for life and the 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!

Q & A with Drew Hartman, Class of 2015 Sport: Soccer Q. How long have you been a student at Walsingham Academy? What role does athletics play in the Walsingham experience? A. I have been a student at Walsingham Academy since I was in Kindergarten. With my senior year approaching, I can say that looking back on all of the good times I have had in high school a majority of them have come through athletics.The Walsingham experience is about finding yourself through faith, academics, and extracurricular activities and I cannot imagine having had that experience without athletics playing a crucial role in my high school career. Whether it is playing a soccer game against our rivals under the lights at William & Mary’s stadium or cheering on my friends at a basketball game, athletics at Walsingham Academy is truly part of the experience. Q. What’s your secret for balancing sports, maintaining your grades, and a social life? A.There is no one secret that makes balancing everything easy. I put my grades first, and at Walsingham, our coaches 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 for sports and social life, I have always been lucky to be on teams with my good friends. We have a good time together while we do what we lovewhich 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 I was in sixth grade. I had played soccer all my life up to that point, but I had never absolutely loved the game. Then, I went to the Varsity team’s state playoff with some of my friends to watch the game and I fell in love with soccer. 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 my friends’ role models too. Since then, I have worked to make our team as good as the team I saw play six years ago. I guess I love participating because of the tradition that comes with Walsingham soccer, and I am hoping that on my last year playing soccer for Walsingham that our team can set a new standard of tradition for the school. Q. What’s the best piece of advice you can share with today’s young student athlete? A. If you are going to make a mistake, make it going as hard 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. Q. What roles have coaches played in your life? Are there any interactions with your Walsingham coaches that have made you a better individual on or off the field? A. Coaches, to me, have been people to look up to.They are out 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 better person. Coach Plank is the coach I can always come to if I need advice or someone to talk to about a problem I am having and he always knows the right thing to do. I can say without any doubt that he has made me a better person. Q. What college would you like to attend? What are your career aspirations? Do you aspire to play sports at the college level? A. I am still looking at many different colleges right now, but my top two choices so far are Penn State and the University of Virginia. I would one day like to be an orthopedic surgeon after I have served in the Air Force. I do not want to play sports at the college level, but I am sure that the leadership skills I have learned through high school athletics will help me pursue an Air Force ROTC scholarship. Q. What is your favorite quote? A. My favorite quote is “you reap what you sow.” It is the truest thing I have ever heard, because you get what you put in. Hard work will always pay off.

Q & A with Marisa Ross, Class of 2015 Sport: Soccer Q. How long have you been a student at Walsingham Academy? What role does athletics play in the Walsingham experience? A. I have attended Walsingham Academy since sophomore year. It was a difficult transition switching after freshman year in public school to Walsingham because I had recently moved to Virginia, and I had made a great group of friends freshman year. I can be shy when I meet new people, but once I get to know them, I open up.Trying out for the soccer team sophomore year introduced me to the students in my grade and those older and younger than me, so I was exposed to the entire Walsingham community. I was able to form closer relationships with people from every grade. Being a part of the team helped me settle in and become more comfortable with a new school. Q. What’s your secret for balancing sports, maintaining your grades, and a social life? A. I am not sure that I have a definite secret. I just do it. I make a to do list of my assignments and figure out the best approach for me to get everything finished. I try to plan ahead. Study halls in school are fantastic gifts that allow me to help keep my workload organized. I take advantage of them so that I will not be completely swamped with homework when I get home after a game, or I will try to eliminate as much homework as I can so that I can create more free time over the weekend. Q. Describe your soccer experience at Walsingham Academy. Why do you love participating? A. Being on the soccer team extended my Walsingham family. It is an amazing group of friends that support each other during games and in practice. Win or lose, we cheer each other up and cheer each other on. I love the way the team connects both on and off the field, and the thrill I get when I watch the team play cohesively from inside the goal box. We have a strong bond with one another in school and on the field, and I think it shows every time we play.

essential goalie strategy and knowledge and has brought in her husband to train with me one-on-one. In doing this, she showed me that improving yourself can have an immense impact on the overall cohesion of the team. In both sports I have learned that hard work and dedication come with rewards greater than yourself. Q. What college would you like to attend? What are your career aspirations? Do you aspire to play sports at the college level? A. I would like to attend the University of Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, or University of Virginia. I would like to study engineering or an applied science. I want to work with the environment and the development of renewable energy sources to make them more accessible and widely used. In terms of sports, I would like to continue playing soccer at the college level. I love soccer and being a part of a team. Playing at the college level would allow me to keep a sense of camaraderie and challenge me throughout my college experience. Q. What is your favorite quote? A. One of my favorite quotes is from Collin Powell,“Always show more kindness than seems necessary, because the person receiving it needs it more than you will ever know.” I connected with this quote because it shows how far a small act of kindness can go. It sends the message that we should strive to be kind to everyone we meet because everyone has a different story, and something as simple as kindness gives people something to remember. Kindness is contagious, so hopefully generously giving kindness to others will inspire them to share it.

Q. What’s the best piece of advice you can share with today’s young student athlete? A. I would tell a student athlete to allow their passion to drive them. If you really love your sport and the way it makes 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. Q. What roles have coaches played in your life? Are there any interactions with your Walsingham coaches that have made you a better individual on or off the field? A. Coaches are my non-academic teachers.They teach me the basics of sports, but then go beyond that and show me that the character that you have on the field applies to life. My coaches for Tae Kwon Do have 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 2014 • Game OnShe at Walsingham Academy improving my skills. gives me packets to read about

New Strength & Conditioning Program Gives Trojan Athletes an Edge In addition to Tadd Bower, the Walsingham Academy coaching staff is volunteering their time to get the Strength & Conditioning Program started off on the right foot. Coaches are encouraging their 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.

The summer of 2014 brings with it an exciting new opportunity for the athletes and coaches at Walsingham Academy. Thanks to the generosity of the Walsingham Athletic Booster Club, the Strength & Conditioning Program was launched in early June with the purpose of helping Trojan athletes avoid injuries and maximize their performance on the field and court. Increasing the excitement surrounding 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 of Tidewater Physical Therapy, Inc., which was founded in 1986 to support the active work, play, and daily living needs of people in the local community. The Performance Division of Tidewater was created to offer additional community services related to health, wellness, injury rehabilitation and prevention and athletic performance. Tidewater Performance offers customized, instructor-led programs for personal training, semi-private groups and athletic teams out of their three Performance Centers located in Gloucester, Newport News and Suffolk. The Strength & Conditioning Program is being led by Tidewater Performance Coach Tadd Bower. Tadd is certified in strength and conditioning through the NSCA and USAW and is also a Level 1 Crossfit Coach. Tadd has a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the College of William & Mary, where he 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.

Once initial testing was completed, athletes began their training program which focuses on dynamic stretching, core stability, balance, foot speed, running technique, agility, strength and power. In keeping 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 Conditioning Program is underway and 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.
