Meet our Coaches
Meet the Coaches Who Help Build Excellence. Self-Discipline. Sportsmanship.
The bonds and friendships created on an athletic team at Saint Gertrude are undeniable. Our athletic program has a rich history of promoting the importance of athletics for young women, evident by our state championships in the 1950s. Today, the Gators have numerous offerings for sports throughout the year, with each student-athlete sharing the goal to grow and improve each day and to be supportive teammates for one another.
Saint Gertrude’s athletic program strives to teach students physical and mental skills, self-discipline, and sportsmanship, while motivating athletes to strive for excellence. Given that over 70% of the student body participates in sports, Saint Gertrude’s athletics department works with athletes to help appropriately balance academics, athletics, and family lives. As a former D-1 athlete and coach, Athletic Director Fran Pochily strives to support coaches and student-athletes to establish the framework for a healthy physical and mental lifestyle and instill the love of sports and team that will last a lifetime. Go Gators!

“Since arriving at Saint Gertrude in 2018, one of the proudest moments of my coaching career was leading the Gators to the 2021 VISAA State Championship. While championships are memorable, what makes this program truly special is the BSoR community and the unwavering commitment, character, and work ethic our student-athletes bring every day. I am incredibly grateful for the support of our families, faculty, alumni, and fans, and I look forward to building on the success of previous seasons while developing the next generation of Gators who will represent Saint Gertrude with pride, passion, and excellence both on and off the court."
