From the Field to Life

-
My name is Becca Pensyl, I am a senior at CMU studying Accounting and Sport Management. Sports has been my passion since I was little. From running around on the soccer field to Sunday afternoons spent watching football, sports have made a major impact on my life.

I am from Gaylord, Michigan. A small town, up north, with a great community that is more like a family. Coming from a small area and high school, I am excited to be able to represent Sacred Heart and the strong family oriented community here.

I believe sports are a great way to bring a community together and grow as an individual. Since I can remember I had a soccer ball at my feet. Soccer taught me so many lessons in life, from scoring goals on the field to reaching goals in my everyday life. Unfortunately, my time playing came to a halt when I tore my ACL. As heartbreaking as the injury was, it led me to find my true passion in coaching.  I have now been a soccer coach for over four years.

I love getting to watch athletes grow from game to game. Watching athletes come together to play and improve as a team is the most rewarding thing as a coach. I am looking forward to following the Irish this semester and will be keeping you informed on how they are doing and what will be happening next. Please let us know what you want to hear and your thoughts about our blog!


Go Irish!

Run Irish, Run!

Courtesy of breakingfourth.com With all of the success the Sacred Heart Irish are experiencing on the hardwood, it's hard to imagine that any Sacred Heart Program can compare in terms of skill or success. But at Sacred Heart, high personal, academic, and athletic standards are not reserved for an exceptional few, they are standards that are upheld day in and day out by many. Nowhere is this dedication to excellence more evident than the Sacred Heart Irish Track & Field Teams. Both squads are coming off of campaigns that wrought Division 4 State Championships. Some may call it, "The Luck of the Irish," but with all of the wins Sacred Heart is racking up on the hardwood and track (just to name two high achieving programs) one cannot help but think that these Irish win their competitions the old-fashioned way. Hard work, dedication, discipline, perseverance, grit. As the Lady Irish are reminiscent of Michael Jordan and his Bulls, the Irish Track-stars can also...

Breaking News … We Have Another Win!

Picture Credits  The Lady Irish have been a hot topic on our blog, but who isn’t talking about them? Some may ask if it truly is, ‘The Luck of the Irish,” but we all know that it is the hard work of this team that has them sitting at a 19-0 record. Last night the Irish played at Beaverton. They brought home the win with the score of 57-43 . Beaverton was a non-conference game. Now, the next question is who has to face this stellar, hot streak team? Breckenridge will be headed to Mt. Pleasant tomorrow for a game time starting at 7:30pm. ALERT … HOME GAME … TOMORROW!! This win streak will hopefully hold up to the Breckenridge Huskies who are coming into the game with a 4-14 record. The Huskies will be looking to cause trouble for our Lady Irish, so come out and support your team! Nothing better to do on a Thursday night then watch some basketball at home! Don’t miss the action and as always, keep us updated on your experiences, thoughts, and comments! ...
