Waterville, Maine - Assistant Colby Women's Lacrosse Coach Kyra Schwartzman, who joined the program ahead of the 2024-25 academic year, has been selected to take part in this year's IWLCA Aspire Assistant Coach Program.

"I am incredibly honored and excited to be selected as a part of the 2025-2026 Aspire program," said Schwartzman. "I am looking forward to the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals and challenge myself to be a better coach and mentor in service of the athletes I have the privilege of working with. I hope to be able to bring back new ideas and perspective to the Colby community and come out a more well-rounded coach."

This professional development program which launched in 2024, was designed to align with the IWLCA's vision to offer an intensive, high-quality continuing education opportunity for current assistant coaches. The inaugural Aspire class of 17 spots has been expanded to feature two cohorts of 15 coaches each for 2025-26.
