It's been a pleasure working with Jeff Walrich the past four years. Jeff presently serves as the Assistant Athletic Director, Head Varsity Wrestling Coach and 10th grade Dean of Boys'. He also teaches Broadcast Journalism and Film and Video Production. Jeff certainly wears many hats, and to the surprise of no one at HIES, he fulfills his responsibilities professionally and with great acumen. If something needs to be done at HIES, Jeff is the man to call. When he informed me that he was looking to advance his career as an Athletic Director at another school, I had mixed emotions. Jeff has been a blessing to HIES, the students and their families, yet I know he longs for greater responsibility in administrative settings. He is poised to take on that challenge, and I hope to be of some assistance in his search. It's difficult to describe all that Jeff has accomplished in the 5 years he's been at the school. I know him best as an integral member of the Upper School's administrative team. …show more content…
Jeff has shown the willingness and ability to make tough choices, even in the face of criticism. He will continue to warm into this roll and hopefully will be able to manage greater responsibilities in the Athletic Department. One place where Jeff has made a significant and lasting impact is his work with the wrestling program. The ascendance of the program from after-thought to state title contender is attributable to Jeff's ability to create an environment where kids feel safe and their contributions are valued. The participation in wrestling has improved by more than 150% in his five years at the helm. He also understands how important developing his coaching staff is--he delegates well and is able to communicate and sell his philosophy to all stakeholders in the wrestling
Being an athletic director is a very busy and non-stop job as Mark is always at the high school here in Sioux Center which is where he works. Mark explained that his life is school as he is always at events such as practices, plays, concerts, art shows, and games. However, in his free time
It all started with an email seeking freshman male in his coaching and administration program. The 2012 graduate of UConn’s Sport Administration and coaching program, William Aloia, says this future success as the Associate Athletic Director for The College of St. Rose started out by almost” falling into his lap”. The New Jersey native began his undergraduate experience with two Division-I parents, and like an abundance of people he knew that working in sport was something he wanted to do. Previously a part of the Kinesiology department under the late Joe Marrone, Will jumped on the opportunity posted through an email and started his freshman year as a basketball manager for the very successful UConn’s basketball program. He explains how this experience “opened his door up”. Will states; “once I started at UConn working with the women’s basketball program and being around collegiate athletics at such a high level it’s really something in itself, and unbelievable experience. I knew it was for me, I didn’t know which part for sure, but I knew this was something I wanted to do.” What Will realized very quickly realized about working in sport is that often times it is a thankless job. However, that did not stop him from finishing his undergraduate career as a four-year manager for the basketball team. The motivation for Will early in his career has been a two-dimensional illustration of success.

“I’m really excited about this group. This is probably … well, this is the best we’ve been since I’ve been here at that position,” Jim McElwain said. “Obviously, there was some numbers issues as far as just what was there, and that’s nothing against anybody. It just kind of is what it is. You had some guys leave early, you had some guys due to injury that weren’t able to finish out their careers. And yet, that group has consistently gotten a little better. I’ve got to tell you, this spring,
