Mindless Banter: Joe Simonton & the Alien Pancakes Episode Description In 1961, a quiet Wisconsin farmer claimed a UFO landed in his yard and its occupants handed him… pancakes. In one of the strangest, most oddly wholesome UFO encounters ever recorded, Joe Simonton described cooking noises, a silent exchange of water, and silver-dollar “space flapjacks” that were later tested by the Air Force. Today we break down the story, the investigation, and the weird theories that have followed it for decades. Episode Breakdown

Visit https://teachhoops.com/ https://teachhoops.com/ for coaching resources, communication templates, and strategies that help you navigate parent relationships, establish boundaries, and maintain your coaching authority while building a positive program culture. In this episode, we tackle one of the most stressful and persistent challenges every basketball coach faces: managing parent expectations, complaints, and pressure while staying true to your coaching philosophy and doing what's best for the team. Whether you're dealing with parents who question playing time decisions, disagree with your offensive system, criticize your coaching on social media, or undermine team culture, this conversation will equip you with practical strategies to handle these situations professionally and effectively. We explore the root causes of parent pressure—unrealistic expectations about their child's abilities, college recruitment anxiety, lack of understanding about team dynamics, and emotional investment that clouds judgment—and discuss how to address these concerns with empathy while maintaining appropriate boundaries. You'll learn communication strategies that prevent problems before they escalate: preseason parent meetings that establish expectations, open-door policies with clear protocols, the 24-hour rule for post-game complaints, and when to involve athletic directors or administrators. We break down how to conduct difficult conversations about reduced playing time, role changes, or behavioral issues in ways that preserve relationships while being honest about the reality of competitive basketball. This episode provides specific frameworks for handling the most common parent pressure situations: the parent who emails after every loss demanding explanations, the family that hires a trainer who contradicts your teaching, the vocal critic who poisons other parents against you, and the influential community member who leverages relationships to advocate for their child. We also discuss self-care strategies for coaches dealing with constant criticism, how to build administrative support that shields you from unreasonable demands, and when parent behavior crosses lines that require firm consequences. Whether you're a first-year coach navigating these dynamics for the first time or a veteran who's tired of the drama, you'll gain confidence to lead your program with integrity while managing parent relationships in healthy, sustainable ways. handling parents coaching, parent pressure basketball, coaching parent relationships, difficult parents sports, basketball parent communication, playing time complaints, parent expectations coaching, coaching boundaries parents, basketball parent meetings, dealing with criticism coaching, parent conflict resolution, athletic director support, coaching integrity basketball, managing parent pressure, toxic parents sports, basketball coaching stress, parent complaint protocols, difficult conversations coaching, basketball parent issues, coaching professionalism parents, social media criticism coaching, parent education basketball, team culture parents, coaching authority maintaining, parent dynamics basketball, basketball coaching challenges, parent interference sports, coaching mental health, Wisconsin basketball coaching, high school parent issues SEO Keywords: Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit ⁠https://teachhoops.com/⁠ for basketball practice plans and drill progressions specifically designed to build mental toughness, competitive habits, and resilience in your players throughout the season. In this episode, we challenge the common misconception that mental toughness is something players either have or don't have, and instead show you how to systematically develop it through intentional drill design and practice structure. Mental toughness isn't built through motivational speeches—it's built through hundreds of competitive repetitions where players learn to perform under pressure, overcome adversity, and push through fatigue. We break down the specific elements you need to incorporate into your drills to develop genuine mental toughness: consequences for failure, time pressure, physical fatigue components, public accountability, and progressively difficult challenges that force players outside their comfort zones. You'll learn how to structure competitive drills where winning and losing actually matter, how to create pressure situations that simulate late-game scenarios, and why the best toughness-building drills always include a component where players must respond after failure. We discuss the difference between pointless conditioning disguised as toughness and purposeful drills that build both physical stamina and psychological resilience simultaneously. This episode provides concrete examples of drills and practice segments that forge mental toughness: competitive shooting under fatigue, one-on-one situations with consequences, defensive shell drills with scoring accountability, and full-court pressure scenarios where composure is tested. We also address how to calibrate difficulty so players are challenged but not broken, how to provide appropriate support while maintaining high standards, and how to track improvement in mental toughness over the course of a season. Whether you're dealing with talented players who fold under pressure or grinders who need to develop killer instinct, you'll gain practical tools to build the mental fortitude your team needs when games are on the line.

People don't have substance use disorders in isolation. Their family, friends, and colleagues all experience, as Lisa Katona Smith, M.Ed., says, "feelings of anger, fear, and shame that fracture relationships with loved ones at a time when they are needed most." Lisa is a certified Peer Recovery Specialist, family consultant, TEDx speaker, and author of the book, "Parallel Recovery: A Guide for Those Who Love Someone Struggling with Substance Use Disorder." Inspired by her personal experience navigating a family member's addiction and motivated by the limitations of traditional support models, she created Parallel Recovery® — a structured, compassionate framework that gives a voice to the untold side of recovery and redefines how families support loved ones through substance use disorder. Lisa and Parallel Recovery can be reached at https://lisakatonasmith.com/. The State of Wisconsin's Dose of Reality campaign is at Dose of Reality: Opioids in Wisconsin.

Most producers say they want to dominate 2026, yet many are still waiting for permission. Waiting for the “right time” to invest in themselves. Waiting to see if someone else will sign off on it. That mindset quietly keeps people stuck—and it's far more common than most want to admit.In this episode, I sit down with my client and friend, Andy Neary, for an honest, no-fluff conversation about what actually holds high performers back. We talk about why driven professionals often struggle with self-worth, why chasing a “guaranteed ROI” can sabotage momentum, and how confidence isn't something you wait to feel—it's something you build by consistently showing up for yourself.This is a real conversation about responsibility, ownership, and what it takes to stop playing small as the new year approaches.About The Guest: Andy Neary is a speaker, author, podcast host, and coach dedicated to helping professionals build the mindset, habits, and strategies needed to excel in business and life. A former professional baseball player in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, Andy leveraged discipline, unshakeable drive, and consistent daily habits to succeed at the highest level — despite being undersized for his position.

Rick talks to Wisconsin Badger football legend, Montee Ball this week. After a record-breaking high school career, Ball had a stellar career for the Badgers. In 2011, Ball was named First-team All-American by Yahoo Sports. He was one of five finalists for the Heisman Trophy. He finished fourth in the voting, with 348 points (22-1st place, 83-2nd place and 116-3rd place points). Ball’s fourth-place finish was the highest in Wisconsin history for a non-winner of the award, until Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon finished second behind Oregon Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota in 2014. He was joined by teammate Russell Wilson, who also received votes. On January 2, 2012, Ball scored his 39th touchdown of the season, tying him with Barry Sanders for most touchdowns in a single FBS season. He finished the season with a NCAA-leading 1,923 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns, while adding 24 receptions for 306 receiving yards and six touchdowns. In 2012, Ball scored three rushing touchdowns against Purdue, giving Ball a career total of 72 touchdowns. This broke the Big Ten record and the Wisconsin record of 71 held by former Badgers running back Ron Dayne. He also ran for a career-high of 247 yards against the Boilermakers. On November 24, 2012, Ball became the FBS career record holder for total touchdowns when he scored his 79th touchdown on a 17-yard run against Penn State. Ball won the Doak Walker Award, given to the nation’s top running back. Ball became the second Badger to win the award. Ron Dayne won the award in 1999. He was named as a Consensus All-American. On New Year’s Day, 2013, Ball became the first player in Rose Bowl Game history to score a touchdown in three straight years.[39] Overall, he finished the season with 1,830 rushing yards and 22 rushing touchdowns. NCAA single season records Most touchdowns, season: 39 tied (2011) Most consecutive games with two or more touchdowns: 13 (2011) Most points scored by non-kicker: 236 (2011) Big Ten single season records Most touchdowns: 39 (2011) Wisconsin single season records Most touchdowns: 39 (2011) Most rushing touchdowns: 33 (2011)

Visit https://teachhoops.com/ for basketball practice plans and drill progressions specifically designed to build mental toughness, competitive habits, and resilience in your players throughout the season. In this episode, we challenge the common misconception that mental toughness is something players either have or don't have, and instead show you how to systematically develop it through intentional drill design and practice structure. Mental toughness isn't built through motivational speeches—it's built through hundreds of competitive repetitions where players learn to perform under pressure, overcome adversity, and push through fatigue. We break down the specific elements you need to incorporate into your drills to develop genuine mental toughness: consequences for failure, time pressure, physical fatigue components, public accountability, and progressively difficult challenges that force players outside their comfort zones. You'll learn how to structure competitive drills where winning and losing actually matter, how to create pressure situations that simulate late-game scenarios, and why the best toughness-building drills always include a component where players must respond after failure. We discuss the difference between pointless conditioning disguised as toughness and purposeful drills that build both physical stamina and psychological resilience simultaneously. This episode provides concrete examples of drills and practice segments that forge mental toughness: competitive shooting under fatigue, one-on-one situations with consequences, defensive shell drills with scoring accountability, and full-court pressure scenarios where composure is tested. We also address how to calibrate difficulty so players are challenged but not broken, how to provide appropriate support while maintaining high standards, and how to track improvement in mental toughness over the course of a season. Whether you're dealing with talented players who fold under pressure or grinders who need to develop killer instinct, you'll gain practical tools to build the mental fortitude your team needs when games are on the line.

Visit https://teachhoops.com/  for coaching resources, practice planning tools, and player development strategies that help you create a culture where every athlete can grow in confidence and reach their potential on the court. In this episode, we explore one of the most important yet challenging aspects of coaching: inspiring authentic confidence in your players without creating false bravado or entitlement. Real confidence isn't built through empty praise or participation trophies—it's earned through mastery, small wins, preparation, and a coach who believes in their players while holding them to high standards. We discuss the delicate balance between pushing players outside their comfort zones and protecting their belief in themselves, especially when working with athletes who have experienced repeated failure or come from difficult backgrounds. You'll learn specific coaching language that builds players up without lying to them, how to celebrate process improvements alongside results, and why confidence is often a byproduct of competence rather than something you can talk into existence. We explore strategies for helping anxious players perform under pressure, rebuilding confidence in athletes going through slumps, and giving different types of players—stars, role players, and bench contributors—the specific affirmation they need to believe in their value to the team. This episode provides practical frameworks for creating confidence-building moments in practice: designing drills where players experience success, using film sessions to highlight growth, structuring playing time decisions that communicate trust, and leveraging leadership opportunities that empower athletes. We also address common mistakes coaches make that accidentally undermine confidence—like inconsistent feedback, comparing players negatively to each other, or making playing time feel arbitrary. Whether you're coaching a talented player paralyzed by perfectionism or a hardworking athlete who doesn't believe they belong on the court, you'll gain tangible strategies to help every player discover their confidence and express it through fearless, competitive basketball. building player confidence, coaching confidence basketball, inspiring basketball players, player self-belief coaching, confidence building drills, basketball player development, positive coaching methods, athlete mental confidence, basketball motivation techniques, overcoming player doubt, coaching anxious athletes, confidence through competence, player empowerment basketball, building self-esteem athletes, basketball coaching psychology, encouraging basketball players, slump recovery basketball, fearless basketball playing, coaching language confidence, player affirmation strategies, basketball culture building, trust-based coaching, growth mindset basketball, confidence under pressure, player belief systems, basketball coaching communication, athlete encouragement methods, developing confident players, Wisconsin basketball coaching, mental game basketball SEO Keywords: Learn more about your ad choices.

A trusted priest with a collar and a gun walked into a funeral home, and two lives were cut down in cold blood, shaking a small Midwestern town to its core. What was Father Ryan Erickson hiding behind his vows and sacred duties?In February 2002, life in Hudson, Wisconsin was upended when funeral home director Dan O'Connell and his young intern James Ellison were found shot to death in broad daylight. The case went cold for years, until shocking leads surfaced pointing to a charismatic Catholic priest whose life of rigid conservatism, secrets, and misconduct may have masked something far darker.

Feast of the Holy Family – Holy and Ordinary (December 28, 2025) On the Feast of the Holy Family, we reflect on a powerful truth: holiness is found not in extraordinary places, but in ordinary family life. Jesus chose to grow within a real human family—one marked by love, sacrifice, misunderstanding, and daily tension—showing us that God's primary path to holiness is lived through relationships. This reflection explores how everyday moments of friction, sacrifice, and care within families become opportunities for growth in love, patience, and mercy. Drawing from Scripture, it reminds us that putting the needs of others before our own—spouses, children, parents, coworkers, and neighbors—creates a ripple effect of grace that extends far beyond the home. The Holy Family teaches us that real holiness is not perfection, but faithfulness: choosing love in the midst of ordinary life. As we look to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we ask for the strength to recognize the opportunities God places before us each day to grow in authentic, lived holiness. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—pray for us.   About Father David Father David is the lead pastor of the Lac Courte Oreilles & Hayward Area Catholic Churches in northern Wisconsin, serving multiple parishes across the Northwoods.
