EDINBORO, Pa - With athletic competition delayed through Dec. 31, 2020, former dual-sport athlete Trey Staunch has taken advantage of this unique challenge.
The Edinboro University graduate student and West Middlesex native has started a podcast called "The Trey Take."
"The Trey Take" is a platform for coaches and athletes to express themselves on precautions they're taking during COVID-19 and how this pandemic has allowed them to adjust their daily routines.
This medium – published on Edinboro University Athletics
YouTube – will allow viewers to learn how student-athletes and coaches are remaining active and preparing for the potential spring season.
"Being a former athlete, I know the dedication and hard work coaches and players must put in to get ready for a season," Staunch said. "The athletes and coaches have accepted the challenge even through this pandemic. The podcast will serve as a platform for Fighting Scots to express themselves and show that Edinboro community members have great resilience and work ethics."
Getting to know the students and coaches that comprise the Athletics Department at Edinboro is a unique opportunity for Fighting Scots fans and for Stauch, who is completing the project as part of his master's degree.
