Who Are you? My name is Willie Watkins and I am the St. Luke’s Sports Performance Coach at Stroudsburg High school. Why did you decide to become a strength coach? I played sports my entire life and I knew when choosing a career that I wanted to choose something that allowed me to stay close to sports. Why did you chose to work for Stroudsburg? Stroudsburg High school was assigned to me by St. Luke’s, but I’m glad they put me here. I have been enjoying my time so far. If you went to college, which college did you go to and for what? I did undergrad at East Stroudsburg University in Athletic Training, and I did my master’s at Liberty University in Human Performance- Strength and Conditioning. What is the most important part of your job?
