What it Means to Be a Lion

At TVT, athletics is an extension of our educational mission. We believe sports provide one of the most powerful opportunities for students to develop character, resilience, leadership, and a deep sense of belonging.

Being a Lion means more than wearing our colors or competing for championships. It means striving to become the very best version of ourselves on the field, in the classroom, and in our community. Guided by TVT's Jewish values of truth, respect, kindness, justice, repair of the world, and community, we grow through competition, we prepare and strive to win, and we ultimately become people who will make an impact in the world.

“Our ultimate purpose as coaches is to develop young leaders of character. Everything else—the athletic skill, agility, strength—follows from that foundation.”

He attended the University of Michigan, where he served as the head student manager for the basketball team and earned his degree in sports management. Today, he works as the social media manager for the NBA Champion Golden State Warriors. Zachary continues to be an inspiration for TVT athletics.
