On Friday, we kicked off 2026 with the Winter Edition of the Impact Field Hockey Clinic, featuring a lineup of talent including USA Indoor Team members Abby Burnett (Michigan) and Melea Weber (Boston College), along with 2X NCAA Champion goalkeeper Faye Post (Northwestern). We were also happy to welcome members of Brave Field Hockey Club and Division I players who proudly call NEPA home.

More than 120 registered campers spent the day immersed in skills sessions and drill work, followed by scrimmages designed to translate those skills into real game scenarios. The result was a morning filled with learning, growth, and friendly competition.

We extend a big thank you to our friends at Longstreth Field Hockey for their continued support of our clinics. As the nation’s leading field hockey supplier, their ongoing support strengthens our mission and enhances every clinic we host. We are equally grateful to our community supporters including Riverfront Sports and DJ Romeo G/DJ Finesse Kid, for helping create an engaging and memorable experience for all participants.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this winter clinic a success. We look forward to building on this momentum throughout 2026!

The next call sheet in the Physical Therapy Playbook focuses on swimming. Swimming athletes push their bodies through thousands of stroke repetitions each week, and while the sport builds strength and endurance, it also places unique demands on the shoulders, back, and hips. Overuse injuries are common when training volume increases without adequate recovery, and even small biomechanical inefficiencies can compound stress over time. Factors such as improper technique, muscle imbalances, and training errors may contribute to discomfort or limit performance potential. By promoting proper form, balanced conditioning, and early attention to warning signs, swimmers can stay healthier, train more effectively, and continue performing at their best.

It’s a jolly time! We had the privilege of uniting our from Lafayette College with our friends over at the Boys & Girls Club Easton during their annual Holiday Party! Aside from learning about all the great things the Boys & Girls Club does for their local community, these athletes were able to spend some time with the kids and serve them their holiday meal before the kids enjoyed some generous gift giving from the local community including some athletic items provided by the Five Star Heart Project!

A big thank you to Dean Young and the great staff at the club as well as our Impact Athletes: Sean Wilson, Ethan Hosak, Mason Kuehner, Camryn Fitch, and Jackson Vajda!

We’d like to wish Nick Dawkins the best of luck as he enters the final game week of his collegiate career, proudly wearing the “Black Shoes and Basic Blues.”

Nick was one of our first Impact Athletes when the program launched in 2022. From the beginning, it was clear that he was deeply committed to supporting his community. Giving back to the sport was only the start. After taking over the Dawkins Family Foundation, Nick immediately expanded its reach, supporting communities in Michigan, Florida, and Pennsylvania, with a special focus on the Lehigh Valley. From annual bookbag drives to Christmas givebacks, Nick has consistently returned home to provide essential resources to local youth.

In 2024, Nick was selected as the recipient of the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy and named Captain of the Allstate Good Works Team—honors reserved for individuals who go above and beyond to uplift society off the field. In 2025, the two-time team captain was again recognized for his community impact, earning a place on the Jason Witten Man of the Year watchlist.

Tune in on December 27 to watch Nick take the field one final time in the Blue and White as Penn State faces the Clemson Tigers at 12 PM on ABC.

Nick, from all of us at LVHN, thank you for the time, dedication, and heart you’ve invested in making the world better than you found it. We can’t wait to see what comes next for you.
