  • how parents and grandparents react to the recognition their student-athlete receives
  • how to give parents a site where they can download graphics for their child’s scrapbook
  • how students are asking Coach Walrich how they can be featured on one of the graphics
  • how to manage multiple social media accounts
  • the book most recommended by Coach Walrich (and Randy, too) in understanding what to post on social media
  • how Coach Walrich is using an APP to increase attendance at all of their athletic events (and other events around campus) and the students love it!
