Tim Cary joins the Trinity-Pawling teaching and coaching faculty this year after eleven years in NCAA DI Football, his most recent stint being at Fordham University. Looking for a way to work with young men in a different, and more influential capacity, Cary was drawn to Trinity-Pawling. “Coaching college football is a great career and you have ample opportunity to impact young people’s lives, but balancing my desire to help them grow with the pressure to win football games could sometimes be challenging,” he says.
Cary has seamlessly eased into his transition from coaching at the college level to coaching high school aged boys. The season is off to a strong start for the Pride, having won their first four games. “We have had a number of boys step up in clutch situations and right now we are forcing a lot of turnovers so we need to continue to fan that fire,” Cary says. “I hope that our boys continue to develop both as young men and athletes throughout the rest of the season. We pride ourselves on being physically and mentally prepared and hopefully we will continue to grow in those areas as well.”
Having been at Trinity-Pawling previously for recruiting trips while at Fordham, Cary had a good idea of how great a fit this community would be for his family. “When we visited Trinity-Pawling my wife was so excited about the beauty of the campus and how friendly everyone seemed. Everyone was great to my family from the start. Quickly after moving in we had met many of my new colleagues and they welcomed us with literal “open arms” – there was no shortage of offers to hold our twins at any of the faculty get-togethers. As we settle in to the school year, we really enjoy getting to know the boys and watching them with our twins,” Cary concludes.
