Region 9 Volleyball

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!!!!!!

Woman of the House

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...
 

Coach It All

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!

Coach Kalinski

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! 

Mr. Cal Siegfried

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!
