Raimond Braithwaite was tapped in the summer of 2020 to take over the Iowa strength program after the ousting of his boss, Chris Doyle.
Five years later, it's clear he was the right pick for the job. How he's kept a lot in place but made changes, too.

There are no more words, I am absolutely speechless. I caught this girl until about 14U and always knew she had a drive to be great, but boy has she worked her tail off over the last few years, thanks to @BTFastpitch and Amy Hartsock. The hard work is paying off!!

A tribute to Kirk Ferentz from @Tyler_T15. How he's navigated maximum in-season adversity in Year 25.
"There’s just never any arrogance. He’s just a humble person, genuine person. ... He wants what’s best for people and his program, his team, the state.”

Here's the full sound bite. Kirk was asked about what getting to the 10-win milestone of the season.

Kirk goes off on the Minnesota game when asked about the 10 win marker, thinking they should've had more. "We got screwed"

Upperclassmen: The impact you make on your program goes beyond wins and losses. 10-year old kids are watching you and emulating you. Freshman and Sophomores are learning how to practice and compete daily by you. You are changing the future for better or worse. Leave your legacy!
