Less than 5% of high school athletes actually play D1 college athletics. Play as many HS sports as you can! Be exposed to as many great leaders and team cultures as possible. The lifelong lessons build young men and women of integrity and high character!

Baseball guys if you are on the fence about going out for football, please do it! Toughness, teamwork, commitment, hard work, intensity, ball skills, accepting a role. Sound familiar….it should. #wdmultisportathletes

Shoutout to this WD baseball servant leader! During the state championship welcome home celebration he says, “coach do you need help with anything.” Kids like this make coaching fun!

Looks like a predetermined narrative is being forced on Iowa coaches and players once again. Maybe an option should have been to return to the schedule we had before dead week was forced on us. Would have been the clear choice by many!!

Awesome! If these bats are the same as 1986, I'll just buy 1 and all 94 players in the program can share it! LOL

As requested here is our blueprint for sharing with track.
#1 stagger practices
#2 prioritize events over practices
#3 recruit for one another
#4 prioritize varsity level over lower levels
#5 Don’t overtrain, track gets conditioning baseball skills only.

WDHS coaches are determined to allow athletes to play multiple sports. We are bucking the trend of specialization and doing it at a high-level. Coach Penner is the best!
Not a coincidence that several @WDHS_Football contributors are multi-sport athletes, including @WDHSbaseball players who missed workouts because of long runs with the H.S. and Legion teams. Props to @coachpenner for being accommodating and seeing value in playing multiple sports.
