Our own Eric Barthold led today's agility session in the Polo Fields. Eric grew up skiing with Ford Sayre out of the Dartmouth Skiway and took his talents to Colby College where he skied on the Division 1 ski team and also led the soccer team in goals his senior year. After graduation, he interned for the international program Grassroot Soccer and coached skiing at Killington Mountain School before returning to Maine to coach soccer at the University of New England and skiing at his alma mater Colby College. Eric is one of the most well-rounded ATHLETES I know, and he is also one of the best well-rounded PEOPLE I know. He started a program called "Man Up and Open Up," traveling the Northeast to lead conversations with junior high, high school, and college students about challenging gender expectations or norms in society, even appearing in his own TedX talk as well as the Huffington Post and several other news and media outlets. Check it out yourself, and maybe your local junior high or high school can bring Eric in!! www.manupandopenup.com
Fun, focus, and engagement the whole way through, today's agility session incorporated creativity right from the beginning with our dynamic warmup all the way through our final hops, zigzags, steps, and cuts in our obstacle course relay. Fun session, and great workload.
