Some people would say that's a lot of hassle, it's right during exam time and Thanksgiving, why don't you just go on the road. But Barbara worked with us tremendously to make sure we could host our games. She's there for you to help you get the W's you need. But it wasn't until Walker came to Wake Forest that the idea actually took life, Vidovich says. It will help promote the sport of soccer and provide positive soccer role models for kids in the community.
High attendance makes it much more enjoyable to play.
That will help build the program and attract recruits who want to play in front of that type of a crowd. It's a symbiotic relationship. Thinking outside the box is one of Walker's greatest contributions to Wake Forest athletics, says Craig Keilitz, associate athletic director for compliance and internal operations. The more we can help the coaches with their jobs, the more administrative work we can take off them, the better they can do on the field. They need somebody to communicate their needs, desires, and strengths in a consistent manner to the athletic director, and Barbara is great at that.
