Theodore R. Seabrooke (February 21, 1921-October 9, 1980) was the wrestling coach at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire for 32 years. Among the many athletes he coached during his long career was John Irving (1961), who has written extensively about his wrestling experiences and quoted Seabrooke from time to time in books and interviews. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he received his B.S. in Physical Education from the University of Illinois in 1942. Wrestling at 155 pounds, he was a two-time All-American (1941, 1942). He joined the Exeter Department of Physical Education in 1945. He coached football, wrestling, and lacrosse during his 35 years with the Academy, but his first love was wrestling. He learned how to coach lacrosse by working under the legendary Norman L. Hatch who coached Lacrosse at Exeter at different levels from 1933 until 1968. Seabrooke became Chairman of the Department of Physical Education and Director of Athletics at Exeter in 1971. He died from cancer on October 9, 1980. He left a wife and three children. See Also
