“We are so fortunate to have Heidi Kirby as our Athletic Trainer at Exeter High School and she is a major component in our continued athletic success. Her immediate care for athletes, ours and our opponents, is exemplary. Her treatment of the athletes, immediate and in rehab of their injuries, is first rate. She does a wonderful job of balancing the athletes desire to return to competition with insuring that they are physically and mentally ready. As a head coach of two sports I have always felt that she cared for our athletes superbly, communicated well with me and put everyone in a position to compete to their full capacity. In addition, she has been a superb role model and mentor to many student/trainers from UNH and allowed them opportunities to experience the real world in a safe environment. The student/athletes, and the coaches at Exeter High are very lucky to have Heidi and her care, compassion and professional knowledge and experience have been a major factor in our success during her tenure.” -Jim Tufts, Exeter High School
