I’m a sucker for a good commencement speech. But THIS one is INCREDIBLE!!
Life is like a guitar. @ericchurch offers a brillianct commencement address (and guitar lesson) at his alma mater, UNC, that belongs in the pantheon of addresses of this sort with those of Steve Jobs (Stanford) and David Foster Wallace (Kenyon College).

I wish every volleyball coach in the country could see this… 🗣️ STOP WEARING HATS ON THE SIDELINES WHEN YOU ARE COACHING!!! We coach an indoor sport. There are no health benefits. Players don’t wear them during the match. Look like a coach! YOU ARE JUDGED ON HOW YOU LOOK/ACT!

Stoked to help continue to grow boys volleyball in Iowa/Nebraska! Cool opportunity if you know any young boys in the area. Ask for details or check out the High Flyers website

Every so often I come across a video of something that encapsulates William Penn MVB. Certainly not trying to compare us to the likes of the FL Panthers, but man is this culture just like ours. Looks like I have a new favorite NHL team to follow #wake

Typically after our season ends, our graduating seniors no longer participate in team stuff (lifts, meetings, etc) Last week our 3 seniors all asked if they could keep lifting with the team because “they just want to spend as much time with the guys before they leave” #wake

3rd set, up 8 points. 4 year senior comes in to serve. Look how locked in the bench is. And then the reaction from the entire bench, coaches included. True #MUDITA right there. You don’t get this unless your entire program buys into every single person #wake

I really appreciate that both Rick Pitino and John Calipari still wear suits on the sidelines.

First time we don’t have a number next to our name in over 3 years and we knock off #4 on the road. These guys are WP MVB through and through! Proud of these men!
Statesmen win! Men’s Volleyball battles through a tough contest to secure a 3-2 victory over Grand View!

I don’t like Deion Sanders. My opinion aside…why does he feel the need to constantly wear sunglasses inside? Personal pet peeve of mine but I just don’t get it. Sunglasses are super cool. I wear them. But its like wearing a parka when its 75 degrees out. Is it just fashion?

I love these guys. The originators of talking heads in sports, but they’re the best to ever do it. No outrageous takes, no seeing who can scream louder, no acting. Just dudes talking sports after school.

Reason #145 why I love coaching Two days ago I posted about the numerous All-Americans we have had over the years Tonight, I spent 45 min after practice talking to an athlete about life struggles and how to overcome them

Every time I find myself focusing on the wins, I’m quickly reminded that we do this because of the individuals we coach. If you don’t go home thinking about your athletes well-being, I challenge you to question your WHY. When it comes down to it, PEOPLE’S lives are in our hands

You can win all the games in the world but a trophy or ring can never replace the effect you have one someone’s life in the time of need
