National Athletic Training Month: Noah Underwood

"The community is what I love most about being an athletic trainer, and it’s my favorite part of Wilmington Friends. I truly do come to work every day, and I don’t watch the clock; I don’t feel that it is work.” — Noah Underwood.
In celebration of National Athletic Training Month, we’re grateful to recognize the incredible impact of our athletic training team at Wilmington Friends School. On the most recent Quaker Matters Podcast, Noah shared insight into the role athletic trainers play each day—from evaluating injuries in real time and managing recovery plans to working behind the scenes on prevention, rehab, and athlete education. 

Noah also spoke about the wide range of injuries student-athletes face, the unique approaches required in each sport, and the importance of building strong relationships with students throughout their time at WFS. His advice for staying healthy? Prioritize recovery, listen to your body, and take prevention seriously—habits that make a lasting difference throughout a season and beyond.

We also want to recognize Assistant Athletic Director Devon Adams, who served as our athletic trainer for more than a decade and continues to step up to support our programs and student-athletes.

Thank you, Noah and Devon, for the care, expertise, and commitment you bring to our WFS student-athletes each and every day.
