We all have setbacks, but the Michigan State University Hall of Famer Kathy DeBoer's setback nearly killed her.

She tells Janice about the health risks she ignored, and about how positivity, persistence, and humor are helping her recover. Kathy still has a challenging time speaking, but her strong will and hilarious attitude will leave you laughing while feeling inspired.Links mentioned: For more information go to www.side-out.org.

A Woodstock man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after he was convicted of multiple assaults on his girlfriend as well as drug charges. Justin Cameron Finnegan, 22, was convicted of kidnapping, possession of Schedule II controlled substances, violating a family violence court order, family violence aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and other charges, the Cherokee County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday. Superior Court Chief Judge Ellen McElyea sentenced Finnegan on September 16, to 20 years in prison followed by 10 years on probation. Probation conditions include no contact with the victim or witnesses in the case, mental health and substance abuse assessments, completion of a family violence intervention program, no alcohol and drug use, and no firearms. Charges stem from multiple domestic violence incidents over the course of five months in 2021.   A Helen woman has been arrested after authorities say she stole all the contents of a mailbox from a northeast Cherokee County business, including customers' checks. Ashley Burgess is accused of taking all the mail from the mailbox at Longhorn's Sanitation on Franklin Goldmine Road near Cumming between March and May, according to an arrest warrant filed Oct. 18 by the Cherokee Sheriff's Office. The warrant says Gordon County sheriff's deputies, during a traffic stop, found her in possession of the mail, which included over 30 checks from customers and registration information for 10 of the company's vehicles. Burgess was booked in the Cherokee County jail early Dec. 1. She is charged with 44 felony counts of identity theft fraud. As of December 1, she remained in custody with bond set at $214,500.   Herschel Walker brought his Senate campaign to Woodstock Thursday, where he spoke to supporters on the importance of voting for him and strengthening the military. Over 100 people came to Black Rifle Coffee Company Thursday night to see Walker, U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk, Sen. Lindsey Graham and other speakers, according to local law enforcement at the event. Walker, a Republican who is running against Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, started by thanking God, his family and everyone for attending. He urged everyone to vote for him in the December 6 runoff election. Walker first spoke about the problems he said he sees with the military, revolving around issues of "wokeness," COVID-19 vaccines and the need to "support the men and women fighting for this country and strengthen the military." Other issues he said he wants to address if elected include addressing racism and critical race theory and "not seeing color," "respecting law enforcement," reducing crime, controlling borders and inflation, as well as "putting Georgia and America first." Bryce Leatherwood from Cherokee County has made it to the top eight on NBC's “The Voice.” Leatherwood was one of eight to move on to the next round from the Top 10 Live Playoffs this week. Three contestants will be eliminated next week.  Monday, Leatherwood performed Morgan Wallen's “Sand in My Boots,” and received enough votes to make the top seven and automatically advance. In the live shows, the top remaining artists compete against each other weekly during a live broadcast. In this round, the audience votes to “save” their favorite artists, rather than the coaches. You can watch Leatherwood's performance on YouTube. “The Voice” airs at 8 p.m. Eastern time Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC and Peacock TV.   Sequoyah senior Taylor Pecht was named a first-team All-American by MaxPreps on Tuesday, joining an elite group of 60 honorees from across the country.

As the opening quote of the podcast says, if your doctor practiced medicine the same way he or she did 5 years ago, it would be malpractice, yet why do so many coaches still coach the way they were coached 20-30 years ago?

Panelists discuss Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Guests: State Sen. Robin Webb (D-Grayson); Todd Allen, Kentucky Department of Education; Christi Thomas, UK Sports Network; Kathy DeBoer, American Volleyball Coaches Association; and Jennifer Smith, University of Kentucky School of Journalism.

College coaching has changed dramatically in the last decade. There are pressures at every level, whether it be Division III and using athletes to drive campus enrollment or Division I where the expectations to win surround a coaching staff every waking moment. But for Division I Olympic sports coaches, there is a third pressure lurking in the back of their minds—will my sport be dropped to accommodate the growing spending for football and/or the financial pressures as a result of the pandemic? College coaches are increasingly becoming fundraisers FIRST, and coaches after. Recognizing that there is great strength in banding together, the Intercollegiate Coach Association Coalition (which has a website called “Save College Sports”) launched in Spring 2020. The group is comprised of 21 different collegiate and amateur sport organizations. My guests today are two of the leaders of that coalition, Greg Earhart and Kathy DeBoer. Kathy is the Executive Director of the American Volleyball Coaches Association and Greg is the Executive Director of the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America. Both have worked to represent the interests of hundreds of coaches and teams. We discuss the Great Resignation, the challenges with keeping coaches and teams mentally strong, and their sports intact as the pandemic wears on. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/karen-weaver/message

The Nebraska volleyball team was ranked No. 5 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association preseason poll released on Tuesday.

In this episode we talk about the stresses of the holidays and how one woman moves past them living abroad. A professional volleyball player currently living it up in Switzerland, Rachel Giustino is anything but ordinary. Hailing from Illinois and from Murray State with 1,764 total kills (when you hit the volleyball over the net and get a point), this queen of the court was the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year and an honorable mention All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. This Outside Hitter comes from a family of athletes, her dad, Gerard, played pro baseball after also being a college athlete. She eventually wants to become a dentist and after graduating from college last year, she experienced the graduation within the shut down!

How do you brand your program for recruits, Coach? We've touched on that topic before in previous podcast episodes, but we're taking a REALLY deep dive into the topic today. Join Dan Tudor for part of his recent talk at the American Volleyball Coaches Association, as he teaches coaches the foundational principles for creating a defined, lasting brand that will better tell the story of you and your program for your recruits. This is an extra long episode, and it's recorded live at the convention, which means there might be parts of the audience Q&A that are hard to hear if you have your volume down too low.

Neurosurgeons say if they practiced the way they did 18 months ago, they’d be sued for malpractice. Heart surgeons believe if they practiced the way they did 5 years ago, they’d be sued for malpractice. Yet, in youth sport coaching we still practice the way we did when we were kids. John Kessel believes we should all be sued for malpractice because we have not evolved the game to meet the times. Do you agree?

On today's episode of the College Recruiting Weekly podcast, Dan Tudor outlines some recent research that he first presented at the 2016 American Volleyball Coaches Association convention that reveals what the most recent class of college athletes wants in an overall recruiting message that they receive from coaches. He outlines five key categories that every coach should know about when they are constructing their recruiting strategy, and what the right "balance" should be with each category of your story. Also, Dan talks about some recent athlete protest news, as well as a handful of football players deciding to skip their team's bowl game in favor of staying healthy and preparing for their pro career. Is that a smart move, or a selfish one? We want your comments on Twitter...just tag @dantudor and join in the conversation. Also, we talk about making Tudor University, and why that might be a smart new year's resolution for college coaches to make as we head into the new year. Here's the details on why you should consider it, Coach: http://dantudor.com/why-coaches-should-enroll-in-tudor-university/ Thanks for listening, and have a Merry Christmas, the happiest of holidays, and a great New Years!
