Collaborative: A team player, valuing input from others and seeking help when needed. Passionate: Enthusiastic about the sport, excited to be part of the team, and eager to learn and grow. Self-starter: Proactive, identifying areas for improvement and developing solutions without waiting for direction. Tenacious: Self-assured in their opinions, ideas, and coaching style, willing to speak up and share their thoughts.

They would possess technical and tactical expertise, understand the total approach to the game and able to identify details that can help players improve. They would recognize and challenge behaviors that don’t align with the team’s culture and take initiative to make a positive impact during practice.

Throughout the years, Dartmouth athletes have competed at the very highest level, excelling in NCAA championships ranging from track and field to basketball, cross country to soccer, as well as skiing, hockey, lacrosse, baseball and tennis. The college has demonstrated a total commitment to athletics and recreation with over $100 million in facility improvements since 2000, including: Boss Tennis Center and Gordon Pavilion, Scully-Fahey Field (featuring FieldTurf), Blackman Football Practice Fields, McLane Skiway Lodge and Corey Ford Rugby Clubhouse; comprehensive renovations to Leverone Fieldhouse, Hanover Country Club, Berry Center squash courts, Lew...instein Athletic Center (featuring a new 14,000-square-foot recreational fitness center), and Memorial Field (including FieldTurf playing surface and Tartan track); Floren Varsity House (featuring a 10,000-square-foot varsity strength training center); Burnham Soccer Field and Sports Pavilion; an AstroTurf field for field hockey and recreational sports; upgraded basketball offices and locker rooms, and beautiful new venues for baseball (Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park) and softball (Dartmouth Softball Park) as well as the 70,000-square-foot Indoor Practice Facility that was completed in 2020, transforming how hundreds of Dartmouth student-athletes prepare year-round for competition.
