His level of coaching experience has also been expanded by two trips to Europe, in the early 2000s, where he was able to observe and learn from training techniques of professional squads in England, Holland, and Germany.

Bonewitz started his post secondary education upon returning from Vietnam in March of '68 at then Wesley Junior College, and continued after his service ended at Mitchell Junior College in New London, Conn. He then went onto University of Connecticut-Avery Point and finally to Storrs.

Bonewitz received the "Ace Bailey" Award from Ursinus College for outstanding contributions to the enrichment of the college's athletic programs.
