Team 43: Hope College Athletics
2 videos • 56 views • by Hope College Athletics More than a decade ago, Hope College created a group called Team 43, led by volunteer chaplain Jerry Root. This group was established to support student-athletes who sustained season- or career-ending injuries, guiding them through difficult transitions. The success of this program led Hope to expand it, placing a mentor or ambassador in each athletic program. These mentors provide another layer of support for our student-athletes, helping them navigate the challenges of college life.
