Practice schedule set for fall

The practice schedule is set for the fall semester and while we did not get an opportunity to play and get some video footage the other night due to the guys being involved in other activities, there will be some soon. The guys tell me how excited they are to begin the season which also gets me motivated to coach. I have been hitting the recruiting trail for B-W given my position as an Associate Director of Admission at the college, but that doesn't prevent me from identifying talented volleyball players. I am in Illinois this week (greater Chicago) and will be meeting somebody from Naperville this evening and hopefully others during my next trip October 19-21. Check back in the next week or so for video footage of practice (may not be pretty since it is the first one of the year, but we shall see). Have a great week and weekend, it is getting colder here in northern Ohio...Chicago too.

Open Gym Tonight

I will get my first look at the guys tonight during open gym. As I told a few of them, I better not come in there and dominate which will probably make them play hard! We have some great personalities on the team and a fun group of men who are excited for the season. In greater Chicago next week recruiting, but stay tuned for an open gym update with photos and possibly some video!

And so we begin...

The school year has begun and the guys are already starving for open gym times and practice. They have been playing a little without me there to coach, and hitting the sand courts on campus, but we will not start official practice for a month or so. On campus, the Center for Innovation and Growth is complete and the Science Center renovations under way...will be REALLY nice when it is all done. We are one of approximately 20 colleges in the entire country to get an entrepreneurship grant ($1.65 million) from the Kauffman Foundation to recognize the work done on campus by our students in entrepreneurship. Visit campus and see our growth and changes.
