2019 “Education making a difference” LINCOLN DAILY NEWS Thursday, Jan. 24, 2019 Page 19 A dults often reflect on the people that made the greatest impression and contribution to their lives, and usually high on the list are teachers and coaches. The goal of an education is not merely to be able to do mathematics in your head or get the grammar right in a social media message. The goal is to be successful at life - having the right attitudes, the right behaviors, and the right ethics framed with a healthy dose of self confidence. Those attributes are communicated and modeled by educators to our students at their most impressionable ages. Coach/Mrs. Kari Froebe is one of “those” educators. Along with being a teacher at West Lincoln-Broadwell School, Froebe has also guided the highly successful girls basketball program for 10 years now. During that time Froebe has coached seventh and eighth grade teams to multiple state championships where both team and individual state records were shattered. After their most recent state championship win (December 2018), Froebe responded to the question, “What drives you to be successful?” Coach Froebe responded: [ “Basketball has always been an important part of my life and I’ve learned many lessons and developed countless friendships over the years from this wonderful sport. My goal was then and continues to be, to instill a love of the game as well as develop self confidence and a great work ethic within the girls I coach. Outstanding educators produce students who succeed at life CONTINUED Congratulations to the 2018 Seventh Grade Class 1A State Champions -The 29-0 Lady Wolverines! Photos by Teena Lowery
