UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - By Miranda Kulp, GoPSUsports.com Student Staff Writer UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - When looking at any sports team there's a clear structure of people all working together to accomplish one goal. Some of those such as coaches and players become the face of the team, while behind them are the backbone of the team--the managers.
Managers spend countless hours compiling paperwork, charting team statistics, gathering equipment and any other tasks needed completed.
"Our student managers are a huge part of this team and family," said head coach Amanda Lehotak. "It's amazing how much they do for us and how helpful it is having them."
The Penn State softball team has four current student managers, Jon Herzing, Nathan Sterner, Alex Comonitski, and Jordan Caffrey.
These four dedicate their free time to help the coaching staff and make sure the team is always game ready.
"You'd be amazed with everything those kids do, although they aren't officially on the roster they're a huge part of the team," said coach Lehotak.
