🥳 Congrats to Robert Woolley, head coach of Kent Island High School men's lacrosse team he is the Chick-Fil-A Everyday Heroes Award presented by Baltimore Area Chick-Fil-A Restaurants! 🥳⁠
⁠
"Coming off back-to-back state championships is method for good and bad," said head coach Robert Woolley. "Everyone knows you as the top dog that they’re looking to come after and try to take your spot."⁠
⁠
And while the titles and victories are nice to have, Woolley knows there is more to life than wins and trophies.⁠
⁠
"I’ve always made it a staple every year to at least give up a day or more of our time to help others."⁠
⁠
His mission to give back started when Woolley was a young coach and organized a volunteer project, where the players cleaned under every desk in Kent Island High School.⁠
⁠
"Kids have to understand that’s somebody’s job and there’s no reason why it can’t be theirs," he said.⁠
⁠
The volunteer projects have evolved over the years and now include working at Talisman Therapeutic Riding Farm or coaching kids at clinics through Woolley's businesses, the Edge Training Academy and the Edge Arena.⁠
⁠
They also help out with field days at elementary schools in Queen Anne's County, which the players have just as much fun doing as the younger kids.⁠
⁠
"They enjoy seeing the older guys. They look up to us and it’s good to go out there and be a leader," said senior Tucker Claxton.⁠
⁠
"It’s fun seeing the guys have so much fun with the kids and they’re loving it," said senior Owen Wynot.⁠
⁠
In 2013, Woolley started the non-profit Giving the Edge Foundation, after getting an anonymous donation. Their mission is to empower young people through fitness, character development and positive behavior.⁠
