Alumni: NorthStar’s Athletes at the Next Level
Where Are They Now? NorthStar’s Athletes at the Next Level
Stay Tuned: Bio’s and Updates will be added with great frequency as we follow up with NorthStar’s best!
In our 6th year of training the Hudson Valley’s most committed and talented athletes, we have accrued quite a list of athletes who have worked their way to successful careers at the collegiate and professional levels.
We are proud of our athletes for having the courage and putting forth the effort necessary to achieve their goals. It takes more than the thought or even the ‘want’ to reach the highest level. There is a certain passion, sacrifice, and willingness for vulnerability in order to put yourself out beyond your comfort zone and take that step facing a higher level of competition.
These NorthStar athletes have shown those qualities and have made a name for themselves beyond the tiny realm that is the Hudson Valley.
