Cedar Rapids, IA
Can’t put into words how proud I am to have been a coach for this group of men. We said the last thing they would do as a Prairie Hawk, is lift a trophy at state. Not the trophy we were looking for but still one of the best teams in school history. Be proud PHawk nation!

U need to know this little secret:extra work will always be OPTIONAL. Whether it’s HS/College/Pro, no 1 is going to hold your hand & make you improve. You have to want to be great more than your coaches/parents want it for you. Take responsibility for game/yourself.@CoachJonBeck

Before you get upset with your performance or playing time, think about whether you have put in the work it takes to earn the right to be upset. If you haven’t, don’t be surprised if you’re not playing well or at all. In life, you get what you earn. -@CoachJonBeck
