Coach Romison Saint-Louis was among the list of confirmed hires at the Feb. 12 school board meeting. For the next school year, he will be the football coach, as well as a health and gym teacher. He has a lot of fresh ideas for the future of Munster’s football team.
“Right away, we want to make sure that Munster football can be relevant again,” Coach Saint-Louis said. “And we want to climb our way back to the top where we’ve done before.”
He said he values building character as much as physicality, a methodology he’s held through his various prior positions, including Peru High School and Elkhart Memorial. He wants to guide students into making better decisions than the ones he made when he was younger, and sees coaching as the way to do it.
“It’s building an elite program that builds up elite student athletes who become elite men,” Coach Saint-Louis said. “We want in regards to character, in regards to serving our community, whatever it is, we want to do it to the best of our ability.”
This comes through the sense of community. Coach Saint-Louis finds the relationship built between the team and coach to be important, claiming to be excited to build Munster’s team into a family unit that can support each other.
“I tell our players that this is not just a four year thing,” he said. “You have me for life, whatever you need, however, I can help, I’ll do the best I can.”
