We've got our first ever guest from the Volunteer State today! He is currently the ast boys basketball coach at La Vergne HS in La Vergne, TN, by way of Texas where he sharpened his craft as head girls basketball coach at Aldine High School. But don't get it twisted he will always be a Wisconsin boy at heart, welcome David Ruekert to the show!
Growing up in "The Sha" Waukesha, Wisconsin!
The adorable "meet cute" story of how Coach met his better half!
Dave and his wife Ashley have become huge advocates for families to trust their instincts in regards to health issues with their children - coach shares the harrowing experience he had with his daughter Jolee and gives us advice on how to handle adversity when faced with a difficult situation
Coach talks about his time coaching in Texas including a brush with fame with Knicks 1st round pick and former UH Cougar and Woodlands College Park Cavalier Quentin Grimes!
You can take the boy out of Wisconsin, but you can't take Wisconsin out of the boy. So of course like any good Cheesehead coach is a big fan of the Packers, Bucks, Brewers, Badgers, and several other colleges throughout the state, and is even a fan of the Nashville Sounds now as they are the Brewers AAA affiliate. We play a fun UW-Madison Mt. Rushmore, and find out Coach's Dream Starting 5. Finally we end with a definitive Start/Bench/Cut with Lambeau greats Favre, Starr, and Rodgers.
