Interesting Quote from Dave Pietramala

By nate.landas - Last updated: Friday, January 15, 2010

While reviewing Dave Pietramala‘s video, Developing On-Ball Defenders Behind the Net, I thought his comment was very interesting. 

“Anytime I’ve ever watched a video, there is always something I can take from that video. Whether it’s a different way of explaining things, a different term that’s used or a different philosophy that we haven’t even considered. We’ve been able to take the philosophies from other sports and incorporate them into lacrosse.”

This is a great quote from a 2x NCAA championship coach.  He is still a student of the game – looking for ways to improve his coaching and players.  I would tend to think this is common denominator with all successful coaches and athletes!

By nate.landas - Last updated: Tuesday, January 12, 2010

University of Sioux Falls head football coach, Kalen DeBoer, is the 2009 AFCA NAIA Coach of the Year!  This is the third AFCA Coach of the Year Award for DeBoer, also receiving the award in 2006 and 2008.  DeBoer was also named Region 4 NAIA Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, and 2009.

DeBoer has accumulated an impressive 67-3 record in five seasons as the Cougar’s head coach.  This season’s perfect record (15-0), coupled with last season’s 14-0 record, gives USF the nation’s longest winning streak regardless of level.
