“If you ask people who their favorite coach at Cornell is, a lot of people tend to say ‘Coach Howley’,” remarked senior football co-captain Colin Nash.
“He’s a huge factor in our success.”
After sharing a few minutes with Tom Howley, the strength and conditioning coach at Cornell since July 1995, it is apparent why so many varsity athletes cannot say enough positive things about this gregarious and cordial man.
Do not mistake Howley’s kind demeanor for softness when it comes to athletic training, though.
“He definitely knows his stuff,” said junior field hockey player Stephanie Brownstein. “He keeps it fun, but you do what he says. It’s a hard workout.”
