Conversations With Coach

In this conversation, Coach and I talk to past swim parent Cindia Ress, who had two children swim age group and high school for Coach.  Enjoy the conversation.

In this conversation, Coach and I talk to sisters Cara and Kate Ziegelgruber.  Cara was a 2000 graduate and Kate was a 2004 from Tell City.  Enjoy the conversation.

Coach and I talk to 1985 graduate Eric Bradley.  In 2017 he attempted to swim the English Channel solo.  Listen to his story here.  Enjoy the Conversation.

In this conversation, Coach and I talk to 2004 Tell City graduate, Casey Rapsky.  Casey was a 3-month a year swimmer for Coach, but recently picked up the sport of triathlon.  Last year she placed 6th at Ironman Chattanooga and was only 30min from nabbing a qualifying spot for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.  In a race that's 140mi long, 30min is a fairly slim margin.  Enjoy the Conversation

In this conversation Coach and I talk to Mr. John Hayes, who has been either a boys or girls basketball coach for over 30 years.  We discuss what excellent coaching looks like in his opinion and we get into some of the major differences between approaching boys and girls when it comes to coaching.  Enjoy the conversation.

In this episode Coach and I talk to his long time friend, co-worker, and fellow Coach, Mo Harpenau.  We discuss the qualities of a good coach, and what makes excellent Coaching.

This episode is the audio recording from the Facebook Live event Coach and I conducted on April 30th.  I asked Coach questions from podcast listeners.  Head over to the Facebook Group, Conversations with Coach to see the video.

This week Coach and I talked to Ryan Oberhausen. Ryan is the kid in the below picture shaving Coach’s infamous mustache after the Boy’s 1995 Sectional win. Ryan said that every time he saw Chris, Coach’s wife, after this, she thanked him! Although he only swam three months out of the year, he was on a record breaking relay, and continued to be one of Coach’s biggest supporters, attending his surprise retirement party and induction into the Tell City Hall of Fame. In this episode, we talk about Ryan’s leadership, his locker room antics, and we even try to stump Coach on “name that band.” It didn’t work.

In this Conversation, Coach and I talked to Sheena Kahle Seger. Sheena swam for Tell City’s age group program, but went to Southridge High School. If you listened to the podcast with Beth Godthaab, Sheena was the Freshman who beat Beth in 200IM her Senior year. During the summer, Sheena essentially lived at the Page’s house so her parents wouldn’t have to make the 50+min commute to/from Huntingburg.

Coach and I talked to past swimmer Davin Harpe who held the 100 Fly and 50 Free records at one time. However, Davin’s High School accomplishments are nothing compared to his career accomplishments as a Principal, where in 2016, he was recognized as the Indiana State Principal of the year, and in 2017 as a National Distinguished Principal. Davin’s 100 Fly record was broken by Drew Ettensohn, who we also have on with Davin. We talk about a number of things, including track, and male pattern baldness. We also give Drew some life insights as he’s missing the last half of his Senior year.
