Coming in fresh from a day of summer school, this fixture at Central High School takes me through the trajectory of his teaching and coaching career.

Listen as this small town Iowa farm kid talks farming, "kids these days," technology, the longevity of his career at our local high school, the approach of empty nesting, travel baseball, emotional coaching vs. skills coaching, bringing a team together, a frustrating end to the season, your own kid letting go of the sport you love, 500 wins and shedding tears vs. anger. I feel so grateful to catch Mr. Staab after such an epic season. You're leaving a legacy.
