Anthony spoke to all the fall athletes at Salve Regina University. He engaged with the audience and was comfortable on stage in front of a large group of people. He had a powerpoint to go along with his presentation and made a lot of connections to leaders in the profession that the audience already knew about.
Response from Anthony LaVopa:
Thank you so much Abby! It was a great event and I enjoyed hearing you speak as well!
