Main article: Cradle of Coaches

Miami University is most notable for having many quality coaches start their coaching career in some capacity at its school, and for others who went on to successful coaching careers after playing for Miami. Some notable college football coaches who coached at Miami University include John Pont, Woody Hayes, Ara Parseghian, Bo Schembechler, Jim Tressel, and Terry Hoeppner.

The RedHawks on ice played in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association ("CCHA") before the original conference disbanded in 2013,[a] and fielded one of the best teams in the league in its last years. In 2006, the RedHawks earned the first #1 national ranking in school history and were CCHA regular season champs. They made it to the championship game, but lost to Michigan State. The RedHawks have played in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference since that league began play in 2013–14.

Instead of playing in the Mid-American Conference ("MAC"), the mid-major conference most Miami varsity sports play in, the RedHawks competed against the larger schools of the CCHA such as the Michigan Wolverines and the Michigan State Spartans, who normally compete in the Big Ten.

In 2006 Miami University replaced the old Goggin Ice Arena from 1976 with the new $34.8-million state-of-the-art Goggin Ice Center, with a capacity of around 4,000. Both buildings are named for former University vice-president Lloyd Goggin.[10]

In 2008 the RedHawks set team records for winning percentage and wins with .797 and 33 respectively. That year the RedHawks captured their first #1 seed in school history and advanced to the quarterfinals in the NCAA tournament, losing to Boston College. The team was led that year by All-Americans Ryan Jones and Alec Martinez.

The 2009 RedHawks became the first Miami team to reach the Frozen Four in the history of the program. The team made it to the championship game and carried a 3–1 lead into the final minute before giving up 2 goals 6 on 5 with the opposition net empty, and ultimately lost in overtime on an unlucky deflection, 4–3 to college hockey powerhouse Boston University.

Synchronized skating

[edit]

Miami's synchronized skating team began in August 1977 as a "Precision Skating Club" at Goggin Ice Center.[11] The program achieved varsity status by 1996,[12] and is also home to one of the first varsity synchronized skating teams in the country.

They are the 1999, 2006, and 2009 U.S. national champions.[12][13][14] Miami won a silver medal at the 2007 International Skating Union World Synchronized Skating Championships. This is the highest finish for any US skating team and the first medal ever won by Team USA for synchronized skating.[15]

Miami created a junior-varsity level team beneath the senior level.[12] After serving as the coach of Miami's program for 25 years, Vicki Korn announced her retirement in May 2009.[12]

(Note: Synchronized skating is sanctioned by U.S. Figure Skating, not by the NCAA. Most synchronized skating teams are clubs not affiliated with any college or university; Miami is one of about 15 schools that sponsor varsity or club teams.)

Tennis

[edit]

Dave Abelson played tennis for the school, and later represented Canada in the Pan American Games and the Maccabiah Games.

Club sports

The team is coach Chuck Wilson. Miami finished the 2010 season second place in the CCLA and won its first CCLA play off game in over ten years. Miami boasted a 9–4 record, including 5–0 at home.[17]

Rugby

[edit]

Founded in 1968, the Miami University Rugby Football Club plays college rugby in Division I in the MAC Conference. Miami reached the national playoffs in 2009 and again in 2010.[18] Miami rugby was named the school's top performing and respected club among all of Miami's club sports in 2009 and in 2010.[19] Miami rugby is supported by the Miami University Men's Rugby Football Club Alumni Association, which provides resources to the team.[18] Miami rugby has been led since 2007 by Jared Moore.

Boxing

[edit]

The Miami University boxing team competes in the Midwest Collegiate Boxing Association of the National Collegiate Boxing Association, a subset of USA Boxing dedicated to college boxing.[20] The team competes from August to April each school year and has had regional and national medalists in the NCBA tournaments, as well as some boxers being named All-American. The current head coach is Coach Eric Buller, Pd.D, who works at Miami as the Director of the Harry T. Wilks Leadership Institute and arrived here in 2011. Prior to his arrival, he was the Assistant Coach of the Boxing team at the United States Military Academy and won a team Collegiate National Championship in 2008. He is a Level II USA Boxing Certified Coach and serves as the President for the National Collegiate Boxing Association. He is a two-time Miami Club Sports Coach/Advisor of the Year and was the 2016 NCBA National Coach of the Year. Coach Mike Argadine coached Miami Boxing for many years after his graduation from Miami. Coach Argadine, and his assistant coach Christopher Lee, stepped down after the 2011-2012 season as Head Coach.

Discontinued sports

[edit]

At one time, Miami had a very competitive wrestling program. They won eight Mid-American Conference titles (1961, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1984, 1991 and 1992) and produced 51 NCAA qualifiers who earned 81 qualifications to the NCAA Division I tournament. Seven of their wrestlers earned All-American status, with HWT Mike Holcomb placing twice (5th in 1982, 3rd in 1984).

The program was reinstalled as a club sport by Seth Preisler in 2002. In 2003, the club team took second in their regional tournament.[21]

Team name

[edit]

Miami's athletic teams had several nicknames, including the Miami Boys, the Big Reds, and the Reds and Whites. In 1928, a Miami student referred to their team as the "Big Red-Skinned Warriors".[22] Miami Publicity Director R.J. McGinnis coined the nickname Redskins and by 1931, the Redskins had become the official nickname of the Miami University athletics program.

In 1996, the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, which works with the university on Native American relations,[23] withdrew its support for the nickname. The board of trustees voted to change the nickname to the RedHawks in 1997.[24][25] The athletics teams' new mascot, Swoop the RedHawk, was revealed during a men's basketball game against Xavier University on December 7, 1997.[26]

History

Origins and early athletic development

The origins of organized athletics at Miami University trace to the late 19th century, amid the institution's expansion following its chartering in and opening to students in 1824. Initial student activities included informal games and physical exercises, but intercollegiate competition formalized with football in 1888, when the university fielded its first team for a matchup against the on December 8, resulting in a 0-0 tie conducted in front of Old Main; this contest established Ohio's oldest continuous non-conference football and marked the state's inaugural intercollegiate gridiron event. Early development accelerated with infrastructure investments, including the 1896 construction of Herron Gymnasium as the university's inaugural dedicated athletic venue, equipped with a seating 500 and a suspended spanning 22 laps to the mile. This facility enabled indoor sports growth, with men's basketball emerging around the early 1900s and logging its first documented intercollegiate victory, 27-8 over , on February 8, 1908. followed suit, with university-backed traveling squads active by 1900, though formal varsity status arrived in 1915. These nascent programs operated under student-led governance with minimal professional oversight, emphasizing amateur participation amid the university's modest enrollment of under 1,000 by 1900. Football schedules expanded modestly in the 1890s, incorporating regional opponents, while events drew from gym resources; by the early 1900s, state funding infusions bolstered facilities and competition, laying groundwork for broader varsity expansion into the .

Evolution of team identity and the 1997 name change

Miami University's athletic teams initially competed without a fixed nickname, commonly referred to as the Miami Boys, Big Reds, Reds, or Red and Whites in early records. This informal naming reflected the institution's nascent intercollegiate program, established in the late , with football debuting in 1888. In 1928, amid efforts to formalize school spirit under new president Charles D. Abbott—though often attributed to PR initiatives—the nickname was adopted, drawing from the university's namesake Miami Tribe to symbolize indigenous resilience and regional history. The term persisted through decades of athletic competition, evolving visually with logos such as a winged "M" in the mid-20th century and an alternate hawk design introduced in 1972, which foreshadowed later branding shifts. By the 1990s, the Redskins identity faced scrutiny when, on November 19, 1996, the —descendants of the Myaamia people after whom the university is named—withdrew its endorsement and formally requested discontinuation of the and Chief Wahoo-inspired , arguing it misrepresented tribal imagery and sovereignty. University officials, emphasizing respect for the tribe's direct input over broader cultural debates, formed a committee to select a replacement; after considering options like Recruits and Merlins, RedHawks was chosen for its avian symbolism tied to existing hawk motifs and Ohio's . On April 18, 1997, the board of trustees approved the change, effective July 1, 1997, despite a by 13 , students, and supporters seeking to preserve the traditional name on grounds of heritage continuity. The court dismissed the suit, allowing implementation; the new mascot, Swoop the RedHawk, debuted on December 7, 1997, during a men's game against . This transition marked a deliberate pivot from anthropomorphic tribal references to a non-human emblem, aligning with the tribe's preferences while retaining red coloration and hawk elements for visual continuity.

Cradle of Coaches tradition in football

Miami University's football program is renowned for the "" tradition, which highlights its disproportionate production of influential coaches in the sport. The nickname originated in 1959 when Bob Kurz, a 1958 alumnus and former sports information director, coined the term to describe the university's legacy of developing top-tier coaching talent, particularly through its football teams in the mid-20th century. This tradition stems from a rooted in the and , where players and assistants under early mentors like Chester Smiley and Frank Wilton advanced to lead major programs and professional teams, emphasizing disciplined, innovative strategies that influenced modern football. The Association, formed in 1971, formalizes this heritage by inducting alumni who exemplify the tradition, with ceremonies honoring figures like , John Pont, , and as recently as October 2022. A physical plaza adjacent to Yager Stadium, dedicated in 2009, features bronze statues of ten pioneering coaches, serving as a tangible to their contributions and drawing visitors to reflect on Miami's impact.

Facilities and operations

Key venues and infrastructure

Yager Stadium serves as the home venue for , with a current of 24,286 following renovations that removed the south endzone stands. Constructed in 1983 at a cost of $13.5 million, the stadium underwent significant expansions and updates, including a 2005 renovation aimed at improving fan experience and . Millett Hall functions as the primary arena for and , accommodating up to 9,200 spectators and also hosting athletic department offices and ROTC facilities. Opened in 1968 after a $7.5 million , the multi-purpose venue supports varsity competitions and university events, though as of early 2025, has been evaluating options for a replacement arena to address aging infrastructure and enhance attendance. The Goggin Ice Center hosts games, featuring 2,800 reserved lower-bowl seats, 102 club seats, four opera boxes, and six private suites, with additional standing room capacity. This facility, which replaced an older arena, includes two NHL-sized rinks and supports both varsity and recreational ice sports. Supporting infrastructure includes the Walter L. Gross Jr. Family Student-Athlete Development Center, a $5 million hub dedicated in 2001 for academic and services. The Randy Gunlock Family Athletic Performance Center provides advanced strength, conditioning, and resources essential for athlete training across programs. Specialized venues such as the Miami Softball Stadium, with seating for over 500, and the Field Hockey Complex, equipped with a high-capacity watering system, further bolster the athletic infrastructure. Additional facilities like the Dauch Indoor Sports Center and George L. Rider Track enable year-round practice for track, field events, and other sports.

Athletic department structure and funding

The athletic department at Miami University is directed by David Sayler, who assumed the role on January 2, 2013, and whose contract runs through June 30, 2028. Sayler is supported by Deputy Athletic Director and Chauncey Winbush, along with associate athletic directors overseeing key areas such as compliance, business and finance operations, external relations, , and development. This hierarchical structure facilitates management of the department's 18 varsity sports programs, which compete at the level within the , while ensuring regulatory compliance, resource allocation, and strategic planning across internal operations like facilities maintenance and external efforts including fundraising and fan engagement. Funding for the department relies heavily on institutional subsidies, including mandatory student fees, alongside generated revenues from ticket sales, alumni contributions, and conference media rights distributions. In fiscal year 2017, student fees alone provided $17.3 million, accounting for about 46% of the total athletics budget. Operating expenses in fiscal year 2022 reached approximately $19 million for men's sports programs and $9.5 million for women's programs, reflecting ongoing dependence on university support to cover operational shortfalls common in non-revenue-generating conferences. Such subsidies, often derived from general tuition and state appropriations, underscore the integration of athletics within the broader university fiscal framework, where self-generated income from high-profile sports like football supplements but does not fully offset costs.

Miami alumni have reached Major League Baseball, including outfielder Adam Eaton (Chicago White Sox, Washington Nationals), who appeared in the 2019 World Series; infielder Bill Doran (Houston Astros, Cincinnati Reds); and pitcher Charlie Leibrandt (Kansas City Royals, Atlanta Braves). In the 2025 MLB Draft, RedHawks pitcher Hayden Cuthbertson was selected in the 18th round (529th overall) by the Miami Marlins. The program's legacy includes consistent development of draft-eligible talent, with historical records showing competitive seasons such as 29-24 in 1984.

Soccer

The Miami RedHawks men's and women's soccer teams compete in as members of the (MAC). The men's program, with media guides dating to 1971, has established itself as one of the conference's stronger squads, particularly in the early 2000s. It captured four MAC titles in 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2012, alongside the regular-season championship in 2002. The team holds the MAC record with three NCAA Tournament victories, the most by any conference school, including a first-round upset of then-No. 25 Michigan State in 2000. Notable figures in the men's program include Ryan Creech, who earned MAC Player of the Year honors in 1990 and secured three all- selections. The team has qualified for the NCAA Tournament four times, reflecting sustained competitiveness within a conference where soccer programs vary in resources and talent pipelines. The women's program peaked in the early 2000s under sustained leadership, winning three straight MAC Tournament crowns from 2000 to 2002 and the regular-season title in 2002. That era included a 2001 NCAA Tournament first-round victory over No. 19 and a school-record 20 wins in a single season. Standout performers were Andrea Cunningham, the 2001 MAC Player of the Year who led the in scoring for two seasons, and Danielle Berkemeier, a 2002 Third-Team selection by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Courtney Sirmans has led the women's team as since December 2017, guiding efforts to rebuild post-peak years while emphasizing development amid MAC competition. Recent seasons have included postseason berths, such as a 3-0 win over in October 2025 to clinch MAC tournament eligibility, alongside team academic recognition for a GPA above 3.0. Both programs play home matches at Miami Soccer Stadium in , prioritizing conference play where empirical success metrics like win totals and individual awards underscore their historical edge over peers.

Tennis

The Miami RedHawks sponsor varsity tennis teams for both men and women, competing in the (MAC). The programs play home matches at the Tennis Center in , with the women's team historically demonstrating greater conference dominance. The women's tennis team has secured 24 MAC regular season championships as of 2025, including an outright title that year after a 9-1 conference record. From 1981 to 1998, the team won 14 MAC titles in its first 16 seasons of conference play and never placed lower than second. In the 2025 MAC Tournament, Miami advanced to the semifinals but fell 4-3 to Buffalo, despite sweeping the regular-season matchups against the same opponent. Five players earned Academic All-MAC honors in 2025, highlighting the program's emphasis on student-athlete balance. The men's tennis team, established with intercollegiate competition dating to at least 1934, has produced notable individual standouts but fewer team titles compared to the women's side. Champy Halim, a four-year letterwinner from 1996 to 1999, was named MAC Freshman of the Year in 1996 and inducted into the Miami Athletics Hall of Fame for his contributions. The team participates in MAC events, including the 2025 indoor where individual flights featured RedHawks competitors, though team-level conference championships remain limited in documented records. Both programs maintain active rosters and schedules, with the 2024-25 record books detailing career statistics and milestones.

Track and field

The Miami RedHawks sponsor both men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field teams as part of their 19 varsity sports programs within the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I, competing primarily in the Mid-American Conference (MAC). The programs emphasize distance events, sprints, hurdles, jumps, and throws, with athletes regularly qualifying for regional and national competitions. Historical records indicate track and field activities at Miami University date back to at least the 1920s, with organized intercollegiate competition evolving through the mid-20th century. The teams train and host meets at the Track Complex in , a facility featuring a modern synthetic track surface designed for elite-level performance and equipped for multi-event hosting, including the annual RedHawk Invitational. Additional practice resources are available at Yager Stadium, which includes auxiliary field space for field events. Miami has hosted MAC Outdoor Championships, such as in 2021 and periodically thereafter, leveraging these venues for conference-level competition. Achievement highlights include 15 MAC Outdoor team championships across the programs, alongside 23 MAC Cross Country titles that feed into track success. The RedHawks have produced 19 All-Americans, reflecting competitive depth in events like the 400m and 800m. In the 1980s, athlete Karen secured individual MAC victories in the 400m and 800m events, marking early program milestones. More recently, in May 2025, Abby Suszek won the women's 400m at the MAC Outdoor Championships, contributing to team points on the final day of competition. Notable alumni include Olivia Bechtel, who claimed MAC 400m titles in 2018-19 and 2019-20 while setting school records in the event. The programs maintain active rosters with top performers in sprints (e.g., Alanah Owens at 12.14 seconds in the 100m) and middle-distance (e.g., McKenna Fry at 2:11.58 in the 800m), as tracked in official performance databases. Men's results from events like the 2024 Billy Hayes Invitational and MAC Championships underscore ongoing competitiveness, though team finishes vary annually (e.g., fifth place in men's events at recent MAC outdoors). Coaching stability and recruitment focus on talent have sustained mid-tier MAC standing without national dominance.

Other varsity programs

The Miami RedHawks sponsor varsity programs in men's and women's cross country, men's and women's , women's , women's , men's and women's and diving, and women's , with most competing in the (MAC). Swimming and diving teams, however, affiliate with the (MVC). The women's team has established dominance in the MAC, capturing its seventh consecutive tournament championship on November 9, 2024, with a victory over the No. 6 seed. This streak underscores the program's consistency under coach Lennie Bielski, who has led the team to multiple regular-season titles as well. Softball achieved national prominence in 2024, posting a program-record 48-7 regular-season mark and leading NCAA Division I with 159 home runs, averaging 9.17 runs per game. Third baseman Karli Spaid became the program's first All-American in 2022 and had her jersey retired on October 20, 2025, marking the first such honor in team history; the RedHawks also won the 2024-25 MAC championship. Men's swimming and diving claimed its fifth straight MVC title in February 2025, highlighted by strong relay performances and individual wins. The women's cross country squad defended its MAC championship status into recent seasons, with consistent regional qualifications. Programs in and maintain competitive MAC participation, contributing to the department's overall Jacoby Trophy win for 2024-25 all-sport excellence.

Club and intramural sports

Major club teams and achievements

The Miami University club team has achieved multiple national titles, including the Association Collegiate in 2008, 2016, 2019, 2023, and 2024, along with outright national championships in 2013 and 2017. In March 2025, the team secured another Collegiate in . The club dodgeball team won its first National Dodgeball Association collegiate on April 6, 2025, in , , defeating opponents after overcoming an early 2-0 deficit in the final. This victory marked one of 12 national championships claimed by Miami club sports teams over the prior decade. Miami's ACHA Division II men's club ice hockey team captured the in 2000 and has maintained a strong competitive presence, including a runner-up finish at the ACHA in a recent season. The program, one of the oldest club sports at the university since its founding, competes in the Tri-State Collegiate Hockey League and is recognized for consistent top-tier national performance. The club synchronized skating team, competing under U.S. , earned U.S. national championships in 1999, 2006, and 2009, establishing it as a prominent program in the sport's collegiate club division. In boxing, the club team produced a national champion in 2025 when senior Daniel Gomez won the title in the 125-pound . Other notable club teams, such as rugby—founded in 1968 with recent victories including a 72-0 over in 2025—and , which placed in the top 60 at nationals while breaking 17 team records, contribute to the program's depth but have not secured recent national team titles.

Discontinued programs

Miami University's club sports programs, managed through the Recreation department, operate as student-initiated and student-led entities that evolve with participation levels, leading to the discontinuation of teams when sustained interest or membership declines. Unlike varsity programs, which receive institutional funding and have formal histories, club sports lack centralized archival of discontinued teams, reflecting their structure where groups form organically and may dissolve without official notation. Historical examples of variability include temporary suspensions, such as the cancellation of all club sports events through April 12, 2020, due to precautions, though this did not result in permanent discontinuations. Certain niche activities, like , which gained official club status after forming in 2009 and achieved regional success (e.g., the 2018 Great Lakes Regional Championship), illustrate how teams can emerge and potentially wane, but no verified evidence confirms its full discontinuation. The program's emphasis on flexibility supports over 50 active teams today, many competing nationally without coaches, prioritizing over permanence. Discontinued programs, when they occur, typically stem from logistical challenges, funding shortfalls from student fees, or shifting student priorities rather than institutional decisions. This contrasts with varsity discontinuations, such as men's wrestling, , and soccer in 2001, which faced legal challenges over compliance.

Team name, mascot, and traditions

Origin of "RedHawks" and prior identities

Miami University's intercollegiate athletic teams were referred to by several informal nicknames prior to 1928, including the , Big Reds, Reds, and Red and Whites, which were used interchangeably in contemporary accounts. In 1928, university publicity director R.J. McGinnis coined the nickname Redskins, which gained official status by 1931 and remained in use for the subsequent decades across all sports programs. In November 1996, the formally requested that the university discontinue the Redskins nickname, prompting a review process informed by the tribe's historical ties to the region and evolving sensitivities regarding Native American imagery in athletics. The university's board of trustees approved the change in May 1997, selecting RedHawks from over 3,000 submissions solicited from students, faculty, staff, and alumni; the new name became effective July 1, 1997. The RedHawks designation was specifically chosen to respect the tribe's wishes by phasing out the prior term while preserving the team's traditional red and white colors and projecting an image of a formidable, predatory bird symbolizing strength and agility in combat, akin to a . This transition maintained continuity in branding without direct appropriation of tribal symbols, as confirmed in university records of the selection process.

Mascot evolution and cultural context

The athletic nickname "Redskins" was adopted by University's teams in the late , with the first documented reference appearing in when a student publication described the football team as the "Big Red-Skinned Warriors." Prior to this, teams were informally called the "Recruits" or "Big Red" during the early . The Redskins identity persisted for nearly seven decades, featuring a Native American as the emblem until the mid-1990s. In November 1996, the , after which the university is named, formally withdrew its support for the "Redskins" nickname and requested a change, citing concerns over its portrayal of Native American imagery. Miami University's Board of Trustees responded by forming a to select a replacement, voting on April 18, 1997, to adopt "RedHawks," with the change effective June 30, 1997, and implemented for the 1997-98 academic year. The new name evoked the , a symbolizing keen vision and strength, while avoiding direct ethnic references; the mascot character, Swoop, was introduced as an anthropomorphic red hawk to represent this identity. This transition occurred amid the university's deepening ties to the Miami Tribe (Myaamia), whose historical lands encompassed the Oxford, Ohio, region where was founded in 1809. The change was framed by university leadership as an act of respect toward the tribe's cultural , contrasting with broader national debates on mascots that often involved external groups rather than the affected communities themselves. Subsequent developments, such as the 2017 introduction of a Myaamia heritage incorporating diamond motifs symbolizing shared tribal-university bonds (black for the tribe, red for the university, white for their intersection), further integrated the RedHawks identity with Myaamia traditions, including efforts in and cultural education. These elements underscore a mascot evolution rooted in direct tribal consultation, fostering ongoing collaboration rather than unilateral rebranding.

Broader contributions to sports

Miami University has earned the nickname "Cradle of Coaches" for its disproportionate production of influential football coaches, a legacy originating from the institution's emphasis on leadership and strategic thinking in its athletics programs. The term was coined in 1959 by alumnus Bob Kurz, highlighting the university's role in developing tacticians who shaped professional and collegiate football. This reputation stems from alumni such as Paul Brown, who founded the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals, introducing innovative single-wing offenses and player conditioning regimens that influenced the NFL's early structure, and Weeb Ewbank, who led the Baltimore Colts to the 1958 NFL Championship and the New York Jets to Super Bowl III victory in 1969. The program's impact extends to college football through figures like Woody Hayes, who compiled 205 wins at Ohio State University and secured five national championships between 1954 and 1978, adapting run-heavy philosophies partly informed by his Miami experience, and Ara Parseghian, who won two national titles at Notre Dame in the 1970s. More recently, alumni including John Harbaugh, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens since 2008 and Super Bowl XLVII winner in 2013, and Sean McVay, who guided the Los Angeles Rams to Super Bowl LVI victory in 2022 at age 36, demonstrate ongoing influence on modern NFL strategies emphasizing adaptability and analytics. The Cradle of Coaches Association, established to honor this tradition, maintains eleven bronze statues of notable alumni coaches outside Yager Stadium, symbolizing Miami's systemic contribution to coaching personnel networks that have permeated major programs nationwide. Beyond football, Miami's athletics have indirectly advanced administration and player development models, with ascending to executive roles that prioritize merit-based evaluation over institutional biases prevalent in some academic sports analyses. This pipeline has arguably elevated competitive standards by disseminating evidence-based methods, such as Brown's integration of study and psychological preparation, which became staples in the despite initial resistance from traditionalists. The 2025 documentary on the Cradle underscores this enduring causal link between Miami's curriculum and high-level success, attributing it to a fostering resilience and rather than rote .
