LANSDALE, PA – North Penn High School Athletics is proud to announce its new partnership with FanWord, one of the leading storytelling & technology companies in sports, to bring the inspiring journeys of its student-athletes to life through FanWord Stories.
This partnership marks a meaningful step forward for North Penn Athletics, which becomes the first high school in Pennsylvania to team up with FanWord. Through FanWord Stories, North Penn will share authentic, first-person narratives that give fans and community members a deeper look into the lives, passions, and experiences of its student-athletes—on and off the field.
The first story in the new series features Ryan Bocklet, a kicker for the Knights, and his journey from casual interest to finding a true love for football. Ryan’s candid and personal account exemplifies the kind of powerful storytelling that this partnership aims to deliver. Fans can read his story here: Ryan Bocklet – Falling in Love with Football.
“Partnering with FanWord is an amazing way for our student athletes to tell their stories of successes, challenges and lessons learned on and off the field,” said Kyle Berger, North Penn High School Director of Athletics. “We believe that every Knight has a tale to tell, and this partnership will provide our young men and women with a new way to engage with our community.”
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome North Penn into our growing family of partners,” said Chris Aumueller, CEO of FanWord. “As one of Pennsylvania’s most respected high school athletic programs, North Penn understands the power of storytelling in building community, boosting confidence, and creating opportunities for its athletes. We look forward to helping them highlight the voices that make their program so special.”
Through this collaboration, North Penn will be able to not only showcase the dedication and achievements of its student-athletes but also foster stronger connections with families, alumni, and fans.
