Big congrats to former player @j_whitner3 for a great game tonight for D1 @Islanders_WBB with 18 points and 6/8 from 3. Awesome to see all of her hard work pay off and couldn't be more proud!


Best of luck to all girls basketball coaches starting practice today! For the first time in 28 years, I will not be in a practice as a head coach-strange but good! Read how basketball is a metaphor for life: when-life-meets-coaching.beehiiv.com/p/how-is-baske…


What better way to spend a rainy Saturday than watching 4 former players playing for @NIACCWBball with 3 on the floor at the same time in this pic and a 4th ready to come in. Very proud of them all! #wingsup

Great quote from Ionescu: "I continued to stick with it, that’s what sport and life is about-grind through the tough times-I didn’t have many good looks-I trusted my preparation, I’m built for this moment-I got an open look and I trusted I could make it-my teammates got me open"


Amazing WNBA finals so far-rooting for the Lynx but hard to not be impressed by the Liberty and their superstars Stewart and Ionesco-Great players, class acts-the women's game is in a great place!


It's hard to believe that it has been 9 years already that we lost dad. Today, I will work outside and attend a volleyball match of one of my mentees: 2 activities dad loved to do. I also wrote about the "anniversary" in my weekly newsletter below.... when-life-meets-coaching.beehiiv.com/p/i-miss-my-dad

Girls basketball coaches and players: I am going to be offering high level skills sessions for HS girls on Sunday afternoons in Mason City. If you know of anyone interested, pass this sign up link along which has detailed information about the sessions. forms.gle/xHtahpKRHHBLgo…


Shout out to @BadgerVB for letting me attend practice today while I was in Madison. What a class program and easy to see why Coach Sheffield and the team have been so successful. This Iowan will be supporting and following them going forward!


This week's newsletter is on the quest for continuous, quality improvement, and why some adults don't follow through on this like kids do.... when-life-meets-coaching.beehiiv.com/p/continuous-q…


My newsletter this week is a thank you note to teachers and also includes some unsolicited advice from the retired guy for the upcoming year. I hope you will take the time to read it. Good luck to all of my friends in education and have an amazing year! when-life-meets-coaching.beehiiv.com/p/start-new-sc…


Welcome back to the WNBA! Incredible to look at the crowd before the game and see the overwhelming number and the variety of Caitlin Clark jerseys out there. The impact she has had on the league and the game in general cannot be underestimated...


Steph...Curry...what a performance...so fun to watch! One of many reasons why I love the game! #greatestshooterofalltime


As a long time educator, it is very cool to see a former social studies teacher and coach appear on the presidential ticket of a major party. Public educators have been the brunt of so many attacks lately so seeing the profession promoted in such a positive light is appreciated

Just before the weather hit they finished attaching all the components of the new score and video boards. #WingsUp

Thankful for the opportunity tonight to coach one more basketball game at the NIACC Women’s BB senior all star game. Great group of kids and fun to have 4 Riverhawks on the teams. Definitely going to miss Friday nights in the gym with all of the excitement, energy, and community.
