Winning state championships is great, but watching your players grow into leaders on and off the court? That's priceless. High school basketball isn't just a game; it's a foundation for life. 🏀

Awesome reminder from @DrewMaddox

PREP ATHLETES OF THE CENTURY! #1. Jake Hilmer Maybe the best baseball AND basketball player to come through Iowa. His name is littered throughout the record books at both the state and national level. cbs2iowa.com/sports/cbs2-lo…

Defense beats offense every time!

Thank you to the Bellevue School Board for all you do for our school district. One of the best groups you will ever find! May is school board appreciation month and we truly appreciate you all very much!

These two awesome ladies babysat our boys from the time they were born until they didn’t need a babysitter anymore. Two of the best influences they could’ve had in their lives. We are grateful they are still great friends of ours. Time goes by way to fast in life! Love you girls!

The best high school teams aren’t always the most talented. They’re the ones that trust each other, sacrifice for one another, and hold each other accountable. Talent wins games — but culture wins championships. 🏀

25 Awesome Years with this Wonderful Woman. Happy Anniversary Jaci!

What do players want in a coach? Not perfection. Not fancy plays. They want honesty. Energy. A little humor. And to know you care about them as a person. Show up. Be real. Teach. Compete. Laugh. They’ll give you everything if they know you care.

A high school coach doesn’t just teach basketball. They teach discipline, resilience, teamwork—and how to stay calm under pressure. Winning games is a bonus. Winning at *life* is the mission. Don’t lose sight of the bigger picture.

Bucket list this summer. Drive in movie. Joslyn and Jori are pretty excited!

We had a lot of fun out on the water with family this weekend. Always great to spend time with our kids!

Excited for our students, staff and community as our 3-5 Elementary School nears completion. It will be awesome to see our students in there this school year! youtu.be/Nsqt9NcJu1U

Taking in a Twins game as a family! Not pictured is Alaina Brenning, Jake’s girlfriend who was nice enough to take the picture! 😀

Your job as a Head Coach is to get the program to it's ceiling. The ceiling is different at each place. This can be a very difficult concept for parents, players, coaches, and administration to understand. Work to get your program to it's individual ceiling.

“In this business, a lot of coaches are running around thinking they’re the reason their teams are winning.” - Kelvin Sampson Great coaches know it’s not about ego, it’s about the team. Culture. Leadership. Buy-in. It wins.

Teach them what to do.

Had a great time with this group of guys from the 2022 state championship basketball team in the Dells this weekend! This has become an annual trip that is a lot of fun! Have A LOT of sleep to catch up on! 😂
