Play Ball: Roney Eford and the Unifying Power of Lovett Sports

S7E5 Sports and athletics can play a critical role in student life, from skill development, learning resilience, to unifying friends, family, and the entire community. Roney Eford Director of Athletics and Physical Education at The Lovett School joins Chief Engagement Officer Jessica Sant to discuss Roney’s first months at the school and to share his vision for the future.

Highlighting the excitement and interpersonal bonds formed during various athletic contests, the discussion touches on the engagement of families and the shared experiences of students. The sense of community and unity fostered through sports is celebrated as a significant aspect of school life, whether on the field or cheering from the stands. Roney even shares his thoughts on club sports plus the real story about college athletics (and criteria for families to consider.)
