🔼 Kennedy’s Upward Trajectory. In what seemed like a normal day, Sophia Kennedy was attending her anatomy and physiology class as a sophomore at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, when a visit from a guest speaker changed the trajectory of her life.

John Norcott, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Pirates’ athletics programs, introduced Kennedy to the field of sports performance in collegiate athletics. What began the next morning proved to be the start of an impressive career path that has led Kennedy to the role of Director of Sports Performance for Olympic Sports at UTSA.
