  • 99. "Commit" Tim Homan- SD Hall of Fame Wrestling Coach

    Episode Notes: Tim joins us today to discuss the lessons he learned and shared in over 55 years of being part of the wrestling world in South Dakota. As you will find out the energy, joy, and passion pours out of Tim and there is no secret why those who wrestled for him traveled from all over the country to congratulate him when he was inducted. He's a dude. Tim was also well before the times when he started using visualization/imagery in 1989 to take care of the "whole" athlete. We got better today and are grateful for the time we got to spend with Tim Homan, one of the best to ever do it!

  • 97. Reid Pierzinski: "Stick and Stay"-South Dakota State Track

    Episode Notes: One of the greatest honors in a coaches life is to continue a relationship with an athlete they once coached into adulthood. Jamie and I get to sit down with a former Pequot Lakes great, Reid Pierzinski. Jamie was fortunate enough to coach Reid throughout his high school career which culminated with him single handedly winning a Team State Track Championship. Reid is now a "senior" at SDSU where he reflects on coaching, internal motivation, overcoming adversity, and finding his best through intentional living. This one is a gem, Let's Go!

    Jamie mentioned some of the great people he coached with in his time at Pequot Lakes and Reid discussed how awesome it was to have such an amazing staff. Many, many people contributed to the success that came as a direct result of the combination of people who influenced it. Thank you to Dave Guenther, Jana Lueck, Jeff Brever, Kathy Allen, Bud Bjornaara, Pat Pfeiffer, Brock Spandl, Chip Taylor and the many other volunteers and parents who gave without consideration of what they might get from it. We are better because of all of you.

  • 95: Brad Strand, Superintendent/Basketball Coach - "It Takes Time"

    Episode Notes: Brad Strand is now superintendent of schools in Breckenridge, MN and was a basketball coach at three different programs in Minnesota over the course of 31 years. In 2009, his Pelican Rapids team went undefeated and won a state championship with 12 seniors on the roster. His experiences building programs in different places and at different levels challenges us in this conversation to think about how to best use our people, our time and our energy. We dig in, specifically, on how he did so well at empowering the people around him to create winning cultures and winning programs but he reminds us anything good takes time. Guest host John Peter (JP) joins to interview as Brad was his high school basketball coach.
