This year the Monroe-Woodbury Varsity Football coaches allocated a block of time during their pre-season workouts each day to what they called "Life Skills" with their student athletes.
Each day the coaching staff came up with a life skill they felt was important to introduce, practice and teach to the M-W Football team. These included:
How to tie a tie with Physical Education teachers & Coaches Brent Van De Weert and Robert Kelly
How to write a check and make an electronic deposit, as well as how to calculate a tip with Business teacher & Coach Anthony Amoroso
Hands only CPR with Health teacher & Coach Christopher Vero
Public Speaking with Math teacher & Coach James Sciarra, featuring special guest judges Dr. Eric Hassler and Ms. Lori Hock
The student athletes were able to take a break from football during the long hot days and learn some very useful skills that they will be able to carry with them after high school.
