Great stuff from Kirk Ferentz w/@PatMcAfeeShow. Been fun to see Ferentz get his flowers this week. Great moment from @tyschmit, which speaks to the power of college football.
"The one constant thru basically my entire lifetime is I knew that you were gonna be on the sideline on Saturday.. Thank you Coach Ferentz" ~ @tyschmit #PMSLive

The greatest advantage your son or daughter can have this school year won’t be found in a backpack. It won’t come from new shoes, new notebooks, or a new schedule. It comes from something far more powerful: Belief. Confidence Discipline. One week before the first bell rings, imagine your child surrounded by coaches who care, other campers who want to grow, and by Luka Garza, who shares the lessons that transformed his life when nobody was watching. Yes, they’ll improve their shot, their footwork, and their basketball IQ. But the real gift is something deeper. They’ll learn how to respond to failure. How to train when motivation disappears. How to develop mental toughness. How to strengthen the inner game that shapes every part of life. Because greatness isn’t built under bright lights. It’s built in the unseen moments, in the choices we make when no one is watching, and in knowing what to do and how to do it in those moments. This isn’t just another basketball camp. It’s an investment in the person your child is becoming. The school year is coming. Who will they choose to be when it arrives? 📷 August 17 — Fayette 📷 August 19 — Indianola Give them more than a camp. Give them the chance to discover what’s possible. Spots are limited. The journey starts now. 💛🖤💚☘️🦚 To register: lukagarzaacademy.com/skills-… @Peacockhoops @UIU_WBB @JarrettKruse23 @SportsGuysIowa @UIUPeacocks @NFVMKrambeer @NFVBoysHoops @OelweinHuskies @BlakeMoen03 @DVBHoops @IowaSuns @waukeehoops @ValleyGirlsBB @CoachEinerson @WaukeeJAM @NFVtigerhawks @NFVBoysHoops @OelweinHuskies @OelweinTrack @SumnerFred @SfsmMedia @SumnerSpartans @UpperIowa @BigWeitz @DavidEickholt @ChadLeistikow
