The conference started at 1 PM EST, and FTC President Dr. David Cohen and Athletic Director Matt Guercio gave opening remarks. “It’s a great time to be at FTC.

After Cohen and Guercio gave their remarks, Alfaro took the stand and never looked back. The new coach expressed his pleasure with the FTC community saying, “I already knew that FTC was a place that makes people better. We are creating people to advance our society.”


A few of the women’s basketball team players were in attendance and were eager to ask questions. Coach Alfaro informed the women that he’s here to “build relationships” and to make them “better people.” Jada Roberts-Duncan, a women’s basketball player, is excited to get started with the coach. Roberts-Duncan feels like “he has a lot of positive energy, he has a good system he’s enforcing, and he’s holding all of the players accountable.”


Coach Alfaro thanked his wife and family and was a little emotional as he took the stand. He also preached consistency, wants the ladies to buy in and plans to lead them by example. The team seemed confident and willing to buy into the coach’s system and is ready for the next season.
