Wife to a defensive coordinator, mom to 4 boys, head volleyball coach, lover of Jesus, Personal Finance teacher and huge fan of summer time at the Lake of the Ozarks.
What is your favorite part of this lifestyle?
- Building relationships with kids and seeing my husband make an impact on the lives of teens. I also seeing the impact the players make on my own boys. My kids look up to them like they are celebrities and the big boys always make sure to include mine or say hello to them.
What is your LEAST favorite part of this lifestyle?
- When people have no idea what they are talking about and they talk bad about kids and coaches. Easier for me to sit across the stands in my own little section versus sitting with other people because I can’t handle the negativity.
- It would have to be a big bag of some sort. I carry things with me when we are on the go. My kids always want some sort of ball, wipes for messy kids and all the snacks that we can sneak in.
What is your go to concession stand order or must have snack?
- Nachos, hands down. Give me all the cheese!
- Birthing twins in early October. I'm the volleyball coach and my husband is a football coach so we were in prime season time when I had our twin boys. It was a wild two months after they were here.
What is one thing you would go back and tell your younger self?
-
Embrace the chaos. So many times I was resentful of my husband being gone but now that my babies are getting older and they can go with me to be around the boys, it’s so fun.
