Bresnahan was the varsity coach at Iowa City West High from 1987-2000 and 2005-2013. She took the Women of Troy to the state tournament seven times and won back-to-back state titles in 2010 and 2011. Coach Brez, as she is affectionately known, was the Iowa \u201cCoach of the Year\u201d in both championship seasons. She was named \u201cNational Coach of the Year\u201d in 2011 by PrepVolleyball.com<\/a>\u00a0and the Children of Promise Coach of the Year in 2012.<\/p>\n

She has amassed a career coaching record of 671-205 and was inducted into the Iowa Girls\u2019 Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2015. She was also inducted into the University of Wisconsin-Platteville Athletic Hall of Fame and was recognized as the Masonic Lodge \u201cTeacher of the Year\u201d in 2018. She currently teaches full time at Iowa City West High School and speaks to audiences around the country.<\/p>\n

The book, The Miracle Season<\/em>, tells the true story of an Iowa high school volleyball team that struggles to continue with its season following the tragic death of the team\u2019s star player, Caroline \u201cLine\u201d Found. In the just recently released movie adapted from the book, Helen Hunt plays the inspiring coach who motivates the team to carry on.<\/p>\n

This event has caught the eye of many leaders in local athletic communities. Coaches, athletic directors, and student leaders are assembling groups to attend for their teams to glean valuable insights from Coach Brez to deepen their perspective and accomplish their goals.<\/p>\n

Parkway Head Volleyball Coach Jordan Henkle thinks his program can benefit from Coach Brez\u2019s message. \u201cThe entire Parkway volleyball program is very excited for the opportunity to attend Coach Bresnahan’s upcoming speaking event at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center,\u201d Henkle said. \u201cAs young impressionable women facing many daily struggles and tribulations, we are anxious to hear how coach and her team were able to come together to overcome all obstacles, big or small, in order to accomplish their ultimate team goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets for Coach Bresnahan can be purchased through the Box Office Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. at 419.238.6722 and online at NPACVW.ORG<\/a>.<\/p>\n
