“The ability to help and provide athletic healthcare for WTHS student-athletes — from their lowest points to their highest achievements — is extremely rewarding,” Schwartz added. “I have the unique ability to see academic, personal, and athletic growth in our students, from freshman year to senior year. This is what keeps me returning year after year. I take great pride in providing our student-athletes with the greatest athletic training services possible.”
