COACHES OF THE YEAR

Congratulations to the 2026 Dynasty Sport - Coaches of the Year; Sarah Molisa (Samuel Marsden Collegiate) and Jamie Fitzgerald - (Samuel Marsden Collegiate).​​​​​​​

Sarah Molisa (Samuel Marsden Collegiate) - Basketball

Sarah has led the Senior A Basketball team to Marsden’s best ever result, finishing 4th in the Regional Wellington competition. They then attended the Single As North Island championship, Marsden’s first time ever, where they made it all the way to the final and qualified for the National tournament! It is hard to comprehend just how impressive this is for a small school.

Her experience coaching National teams means she has taken this young team from strength to strength this year, developing each individual player and ensuring that this team will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in years to come!


Jamie Fitzgerald (Samuel Marsden Collegiate) - Rowing

​Jamie is an exceptional coach who thoroughly deserves recognition for the outstanding contribution he makes to Marsden rowing. His level of commitment is beyond compare; he dedicates countless hours to coaching, planning, and supporting athletes to make them the best they can be, usually well outside of official training times.

His knowledge and expertise in rowing are matched only by his ability to translate that knowledge into real results, helping athletes not only improve technically but also perform competitively at a high level. Jamie fosters a positive, supportive environment that motivates athletes to push themselves and believe in their own potential.
