I'm BAAACCK!!!

I am expecting to have an exciting summer and so I want to let everyone know that at least weekly, I will be blogging again.

Running an AAU program is a lot of work, and Sunday nights/Monday mornings can be stressful with parents emails, and such. It is however something I love to do and am excited about continuing.

Very proud of how most of our girls seasons ended up, and the ones that are still playing are also having great seasons. We won two classic state championships at 14U and 15U and our 13s were really strong all year. The younger levels, we are really building strong teams, and I like that.

On our boys side we are really rolling and expanding on what we have been building the past four years since we really started to have a say in the direction of the organization. I am excited about planning a golf outing and also our Fall exposure, and also excited about coaching my team(16U) going forward.

I really respect the Jake Sullivan's, Willie Vang's, Ben Davis's of the world who coach their top team and also run the program. I am really thinking of getting out of the coaching aspect, but I am loving my team right now, and the challenges of building a great 16s next year might be too fun to pass up. I know how much work those guys put in, and also put their heart and sole into coaching. Jake and I have young children, so it makes it even more work. I am really lucky Josh Hanson does such an amazing job with our 17s so I don't have to coach them, and deal with 100 percent of the recruiting as well.

Fun weekend, boys state tourney, two girls teams in Sioux Falls. Lot's to report next week.
