John Peckinpaugh

 

Dick Duke introduced this week's speakers, Tony Jasick, coach of the IPFW men's basketball team and John Peckinpaugh.

Coach Jasick received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology Education from Mars Hill College in 2000. He then obtained his Masters in Education degree from Lincoln Memorial University in 2002. He was named the head men’s basketball coach at IPFW in April of this year. Jasick has been a member of the IPFW coaching staff for the past six seasons, including the previous four as the associate head coach. 

John gained national recognition last year fro sustaining multiple concussions which caused him to wear a wrestling helmet. He has been featured on the front page of the USA Today sport's section and has received some recognition on ESPN. 

Jasick says that it on players like John that the IPFW men's team is building. Though the team is young, it is growing in skill. 

"Sometimes we look good," says Jasick of his team. "Other times, not so much." 

Jasick says that this comes from structured practices where there is no downtime. 

"We scrimmage and we run drills," says Jasick. "We also have a free throw session half way through the practice to simulate half time."

Jasick also says that his team is benefitting from modern technology because the coaches and the team is able to view footage of the opponents prior to any game. This allows the team to create a more suited strategy for the upcoming games.
