What they are saying about “The Next Level”

“This site offers track and field\cross country fans an appropriate view into the power of faith in athletics.  I look forward to following the continued future growth and learning from and through others about the merger of two very personal journeys in a person’s life.”

-Layne Anderson-Head Women’s Track and Cross Country Coach at The University of Iowa

“WOW! Blaire Dinsdale had a link to your site posted on Twitter and I saw it for the first time about an hour ago and I have been hooked on it ever since. I wanted you to know that I think it is just fabulous and exactly what Iowa needs!  I think I'll be on your site now much more often than because it just might be my new favorite thing. I am going to show this to everyone in my FCA huddle because you can simply never have too many places to see faith and athletics collide. Thank you so much for creating this website. I'll be on it daily I'm sure. Hope all is well!”

-Morgan Casey:-State Champion at Northeast Goose Lake. Now All Big 12 performer at Iowa State

“Just checked out your web-site. I think it is a great idea!! I really appreciate how you are incorporating the power of faith into coaching and athletics. I look forward to checking it out more in the future!”

-Uby Martinez: Asst Baseball Coach at Iowa City Regina.  Elementary teacher in Iowa City school system

“I like it, Mike!  Start small and expand – best advice I can give anyone who is starting a website. It’s like Cornhusker football under Osborne – run 3 plays, but run them perfectly.  Only then should you expand your playbook.”

-T.J. Pierce: Director of Operations for Nebraska Track:

“That's a great site Mike. I'm going to enjoy keeping up on that!”

-Travis J. Geopfert: State Champion at Panorama, MVC Champion and All American at UNI, now Assistant Coach at Arkansas

“Mike, I just took a look at the web site and its great.  Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to following The Next Level.”
