New coach travels long road

Despite being young in age, Alex Veitenheimer is extremely old school.

Veitenheimer, 25, admits to being a very goal- oriented person and knows that hard work is the key to success on any level in life. Veitenheimer likes goals and structure as it’s what actually got her into coaching to begin with.

“I know the structure and atmosphere of sports in an athlete’s life is so beneficial,” Veitenheimer said. “As an adult, I stay active by running in 5K, 10K, 12K and half marathons.”

She will need the energy that running provides this year as she will be coaching volleyball, basketball, and track at JHS, working with the sub-varsity Tigers in all three sports. She grew up in Windthorst and then majored in education and minored in kinesiology at Midwestern State.
