UNIFIED TRACK & FIELD Coaches of the Year Announced Today!
NICK DIANTONIO, Natick High School: “From the standpoint of Unified Track and Field, we model our coaching philosophy in close accordance with that of the Special Olympics: “Let me win, but, if I cannot, let me be brave in the attempt.” Specifically, while we coach our athletes to pursue victory, we understand that such an outcome is often unattainable for some of our athletes with physical and mental disabilities. Therefore, we concurrently emphasize such concepts as: the importance of true and valuable interpersonal relationships amongst teammates, healthy lifestyle choices, and, most importantly, working to build a genuinely inclusive school community. Simply stated, when an individual finishes with the Unified Track and Field season at Natick High School, if one can look in the mirror and affirm he or she has become a better person as a result of participation with our team, we have succeeded as coaches!
