DePaul University has a new softball Head Coach. DePaul isn't nee to Liz Bouck-Jagielski though.
A former star player and assistant coach at DePaul, Jagielski returns to familiar territory as she takes the helm of the Blue Demons softball team.
As a player, Jagielski helped the Blue Demons to a Women's College World Series appearance. As an assistant, she helped coach the team to two more WCWS appearances. She has a bit of work to do to get the Demons back there, but she has her eyes on getting there.
I recently interviewed Coach Jagielski about all of this. That interview is at On the Beat with DePaul Softball Head Coach Liz Bouck-Jagielski.
A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to meet Coach Jagielski at an Athletes Unlimited Softball game. I was very impressed when later I introduced myself, she actually lingered a bit talking to me, despite her busy day. She seemed genuinely interested in what I do and in promoting the team.
I would describe her as an optimistic realist. She knows she has hard work ahead, but she is hopeful of good things to come relatively quickly.
I will be back "On the BEat" as always next season with the Blue Demons. I look forward to a fresh restart of the team. For more info, go to depaulbluedemons.com.
