Let’s goooooo!!! Finally got this guy in studio after picking on him during a few previous episodes. And we must say, he’s a cool cat. We could sit here and you could read all about him, but that wouldn’t be as enlightening as when you listen to this podcast.

Thank you Coach Umscheid for taking the time to tell us your story and we can’t wait to see you this month when you do that really amazing thing.

And thank you to our sponsors; Wild Ass Soap Co, El Puerto and Joltin Jo’s.
Until next Tuesday,

Andrea Schuler

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0500

We could sit here and type all of the things Andrea has done, but what would be the fun in that? So, just take a listen and give us a few STARS and a like on social media instead ;-)

Honestly though, Andrea has coached, taught and is now currently leading athletes in her new journey as a staff member for FCA.

We enjoyed our time interviewing Andrea and hope our paths cross again!

Huge thank you to our sponsors; Wild Ass Soap Co, El Puerto and Joltin Jo's.

Amanda Sackett

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0500

When we are recording our podcasts we always have some memorable moments, great quotes, good laughs and a great time. We hit all of those during this episode. We had so many great quotes that we will probably come up with some kind of -Amanda Sackett- line of new garb. Which will probably entail some sweet shirts and stickers.

This episode was a blast and I feel like we could get a few more laughs out of Amanda, if we were to bring her back to see us!

Don't forget to check out Amanda's photography business via Facebook.

Lessons When Running

Tue, 23 May 2023 05:00:00 -0500

This episode was by far one of our top favorite episodes to record. After you take a listen you will understand why. Listening to someone be willing to share their downs of life, but how they continue to grow and look at the top of the mountain instead of the bottom gives you a sense of hope with your own troubles or problems you may be facing.

Besides that though, who in their right mind wants to run 100 miles!?? Well, Zach does and we can't wait to hear how it goes, so we think we will probably have him back after the big day.

Huge thank you to our sponsors; Wild Ass Soap, Joltin Jo's, El Puerto!! And a huge thank you to Zach for taking time out of your busy day to come hang out with us.

Until next Tuesday,

MCC Softball Players

Tue, 16 May 2023 05:00:00 -0500

One of the awesome things about one of us working at the college is all of the awesome humans we get to meet. I, Hayley, was fortunate enough to meet these young ladies as freshmen, Nevaeh Ogden and Cassidy Fife.

They both came to McCook to be collegiate softball players and then went through a coaching change after their freshmen year.

There is some great conversation in this episode and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we had recoring it!

Until next Tuesday,

Hayley & Lena

Tue, 09 May 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Chad is a jack of all trades. He has done everything from competitive trap shooting, dog training, team roping, coaching, golf, and really anything that isn't team oriented. Just kidding, he has coached team sports.

Tristan Campbell - Wrestler

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 05:40:00 -0500

Welcome to the mic, Tristan Campbell of McCook, Nebraska! Tristan is a freshman here in good ol' McCook.

He recently just won the title of the 2023 B-4 District Wrestling Champion at 145lbs. This is good episode in the eyes of a high school athlete. We can tell he was raised right and has tremendous work ethic.

We do believe, that we should have past guest Skylar Kalinski and Tristan have a wrestle off, or whatever you would call that.

Anyways, take a listen and let us know what you think! And don't forget to give us a follow on our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages!

Love,

Carrie Hoehner Goltl

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 05:30:00 -0500

Here is an episode with not just a PE teacher, but a past athlete. Now Carrie wasn’t just any athlete. She is very humble and you would probably never know that she still holds track records at McCook, NE High School and the University of Nebraska Kearney.

Here is a small write up of her accomplishments when she was inducted into the UNK Hall of Fame:

Carrie Hoehner Goltl currently ranks in the UNK career top 10 five different events, holding school outdoor records at 100 meters (11.90), 200 meters (24.27) and the long jump (20-5.25).

A four-time NAIA All-American, she was runner up in the long jump at the 1989 indoor meet (19-1) while placing in the top six in the 200 and long jump at that year's outdoor championships in California.
