SHE HAS A LOT THAT SHE CAN OFFER AND SHE WILL LEARN THAT AS SHE GOES, WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE OF THE HEAD COACH AND SHE’S JUST GOING TO GROW IN THAT PROGRAM JUST LIKE SHE HAS HERE AT ELON.

Tendler has taught me so much,” Clark said. “She was such a decorated athlete herself and learning from her and her coaching style is something that is going to help me in the future.”

Tendler said she was pleased to know that she had imparted wisdom onto Clark and is looking forward to watching her in the future.

“That makes me happy to know that I had a small impact on what she’s doing and that she enjoyed her time here and that I was a good fit for her as a coach,” Tendler said.

Clark hopes to take many of the coaching styles that Tendler has and translate it into her relationships with her future athletes.

“I definitely loved how coach Tendler made everyone feel so included,” Clark said. “It felt like a big family. I think the way that she treated her athletes is what I’m going to take away.”

Clark will begin her position next week and start recruiting athletes in February. Upon giving her final advice, Tendler said for Clark to enjoy her journey.

“Bucknell hired her for a reason,” Tendler said. “She has a lot that she can offer and she will learn that as she goes, what the expectations are of the head coach and she’s just going to grow in that program just like she has here at Elon.”
