Camp Director:
Claire Zagami Kapoor, Head Cheerleading Coach
Under Claire Zagami Kapoor’s direction, Our Lady of Good Counsel has one of the Washington, D.C., area’s finest high school cheerleading programs. In addition to supporting Falcon athletic teams, cheerleaders have competed with distinction.
Several of Kapoor’s cheerleaders have gone on to perform in college, including major NCAA Division I programs such as the University of Maryland, Syracuse, and N.C. State.
Kapoor, who came to Good Counsel in 2013, believes that being a coach is not just a role you fill but is who you are.
“It takes an inner strength to lead a group to achieve a common goal, to drive excellence, and to train for the unexpected,” she said. “It is caring about the team while seeing the individuals as well. It is the skill of highlighting lessons in your sport, which will benefit your athletes as they move through life.”
