Some quotes from Jamie in a January interview. I like that her values are very similar to those that coach Allister has. I don't know if she will bring her assistants with her.
Despite having served with “head coach” in her title for more than half of a decade, Trachsel’s first few months as a solo leader have been full of many new things, many changes – and far less sleep: “There are a lot less full nights of sleep; you think more when it’s all on you,” she says. “Lots of things to delegate and balance that out. I work harder, I work longer. But our goal is to get better, teach kids, and bring about harder workers.”
One of Trachsel’s biggest successes already has been acquiring two veteran coaches to fill out her staff – she hired Randy Schneider away from Wisconsin and brought pitching coach Brynne Dordel with her from North Dakota State. “It’s a great staff that is like-minded and capable of building a top-20 program,” Trachsel said. “We are a teaching staff who believes in doing things the right way. Between every member of our staff, I believe we have a strength in every area of our program needed to be successful.”
“Greatness is unwavering,” Trachsel said. “You can’t cheat the work… if you want to be a champion, you have to be willing to pay the price.”
