VJ Sarullo has just completed his first year as Staples High School’s athletic director. He came to Westport last spring, after 10 years at Jonathan Law High in Milford.
VJ has rejuvenated the school’s athletic department. He bolstered its social media presence, developed a leadership program, and is a visible presence at every sport. (Yes, he goes to games, matches, meets and practices for all 36 of them.)
The other day, VJ sat down with me at the Westport Library stage. We talked about the size and scope of Staples athletics; what it takes to keep teams on top (and what else is important besides winning); the role of coaches (and parents); what it’s like to be a high school student-athlete today — and what he’s learned about Staples, and Westport, over the past year.
VJ was a great guest: passionate, fun, with tons of stories. Click below to hear what he has to say:
