Dash Buntjer, strength coach for the baseball and cross country teams, watches the technique of Braden Mosley, a sophomore baseball player, on Monday during weight training in the Troutt-Wittmann Academic and Training Center. “People always say I’m a strength coach because I want to make the athletes stronger,” said Buntjer, a graduate student in kinesiology from Santa Rosa, Calif. “No — I’m a strength coach because I want to help them … knowing that I helped someone achieve something they wanted, just to impact their life positively — to me, that’s what it’s about.” He said the hardest part of graduating in May will be leaving his two teams.
