Coaching, Caffeine & Comedy

This is a fun episode that we recorded during the American Volleyball Coaches Assocation Convention in Omaha. Unfortunately, Lena didn't attend, but don't worry we called her in so she wouldn't miss out on the action. 

Huge thank you to the AVCA and the Podcast Center for letting us do this episode. 

Anyways, take a listen on a few current NJCAA Region 9 coaches and some of the past region coaches. 

Special Guests include Jordan Willis (Davis & Elkins), Jessica Squier (Morningside University), Binny Canales (Western Nebraska), Makenzie Chrisman (Northeastern), Mary Young (Central Nebraska), Alexa McCall (North Platte) and Tyrel Barry (Otero). 

Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! 

Love,

This episode is with not only a McCook business owner, but also someone that loves the sport of volleyball.

I mean he likes some other sports too, but we are going to say volleyball is his favorite! 

Nick Nothnagel is the proud owner of NStant Convenience, Nick's Distribution and HiTimes Liquor..(Just to name a few) 

In his spare time he is father, husband, assistant MCC Golf Coach and a volunteer assistant for the MCC Volleyball Program. 

So, sit back and listen to one of our locals from McCook, Nick Nothnagel!! (read that in your announcer voice) 

We just had to have him back on the podcast with our co-host involved in this interaction. Same as last time, some great information to be heard. If you forgot who he was, Coach Jacob Brandl is the head men's basketball coach at McCook Community College

Brandl graduated from North Platte St. Pat’s High School in 2006, was named the North Platte Telegraph Boys’ Basketball Player of the Year. He went on to play at North Platte Community College in 2006-2007 and 2007-2008.

After receiving his Associate of Arts Degree in 2008 he went to Dana College in Blair and later attended Midland University in Fremont where he received a bachelor’s degree in history and secondary education as well as a field endorsement in social science and coaching.

As a college player at North Platte and Dana, he scored 966 career points, including 221 career 3-point field goals. He started 30 straight games for the Knights and then 59 straight for Dana College. After attending Dana College he went on to Dakota Wesleyan from 2012-2014 where he received his master’s degree in Education Policy and Administration.

Take a listen on the one who really runs the Conroy house. Remember that episode with Coach Conroy, well this is his better half! Rachel was a collegiate softball at McCook Community College and has also dipped her toes in coaches as well at her alma mater of MCC. 

After you listen to this episode, let us know what Conroy you would want to be coached by...

Staci Blomstedt is a NCAA DI BYU Alumni, small business owner, mom, wife and still has time to coach every sport her kids participate in. 

And let's not forget she is an avid runner, who wins every Republican River Fitness run in the area....usually right beside her or in front you will find one of her children. 

Take a listen and don't forget to leave us a review! 

Love, 

Hayley & Lena

Lineman, father, husband and in his spare time he is a wrestling coach. Not only does he help out with the high school here in McCook, but he also helps run the McCook Wrestling Club.

You will hear the fact that Lena and myself know about wrestling and we learned a bit, but mostly we just listened since he was speaking a foreign language to us the whole time. 

Great week to be a Bison though, best of luck to the McCook Bison Football team AND the Lady Indian Volleyball team as they had to the Region 9 volleyball tournament, with the one and only Cal Siegfried behind the wheel! 

Ever wonder who gets the MCC athletes from point A to point B? Well, here is our first episode with one of our trusty bus drivers. 

Not only does he drive a bus though, Cal has many things up his sleeve, which you will soon hear about if you listen to this episode. 

So, sit back, relax and listen to Cal Siegfried of McCook, NE!
