GOOD EVENING FROM TPM!

This week’s PROFILE OF AN ELEVATED ERNIE’ goes to assistant Cedar Falls boys football Coach and offensive coordinator,
Coach Ken Kolthoff.

If you’ve been around the Cedar Falls boys football team at all in the last few decades you probably know him.

He was a standout football player back in the 1980s with the Cedar Falls Tigers and the UNI Panthers.

I’ve been fortunate to get to know Coach Kolthoff a little bit these last few years through our CF Rec Center Sauna conversations…

AND

His upbeat, welcoming, and even keeled energy is a blessing to those he comes in contact with.

Coach Kolthoff has positively impacted so many kids in various ways.

My brother, Derek Peck, was a notable running back for the Cedar Falls Tigers from 1992-1995 and shared these words about his experiences under Coach Kolthoff:

“I loved Coach’s presence. He was a coach I had a ton of respect for and worked harder to gain his praise than anyone else.
I knew if Kolthoff gave me a compliment, he wasn’t blowing smoke, and it meant a lot coming from him because of how good of a player he was back in his day.
Basically, he motivated me to be better and tougher.  I didn’t want to let him down.
I didn’t feel that way about any other Coach.”

Coach Kolthoff has impacted so many young people through his years of Coaching.

I know the legacy he will leave will be IMPACTFUL and PROFOUND.

Thanks Coach Kolthoff, for being this week’s’PROFILE OF AN ELEVATED ERNIE!’

Keep being KIND Coach!

If you see Coach Kolthoff,, tell him I said HI!

FYI, I had a really cool photo of Coach Kolthoff from his playing days at UNI but unfortunately can’t find it.

Sorry for the stock photo!

GO WIN!!!

GOOD MORNING FROM TPM!

From a little child to a 16 year old, Trip has always loved trimming trees and doing yard work.

Never a couch potato and always ready to work.

Let’s all roll up our ole sleeves today and get what needs to get done on this Monday.

If it’s another same-sh*t-different-day type of way for you today, I hope you at least find JOY in knowing…

165,000 people globally didn’t wake up this morning…

BUT

You did!

YOU ARE BLESSED TO BE HERE!

GOOD EVENING FROM TPM!

Simple Sweet Sixteen for this guy today.

Trippy is a simple man.

He wanted a Decorah day trip and insisted he drive.

Pulpit Rock and Palisades for some beautiful hiking.

Of course the Icy cold dip in 49 degree Twin Springs was the USUAL REJUVENATOR!

What’s your USUAL REJUVENATOR?

I hope you got one!

GO WIN!!!

GOOD MORNING FROM TPM!

A parent knows what a gift a child is.

My son is sweet 16 today.

All avenues of life are adorned with blessings and hardships.

This is the Yin and Yang of all things.

I’m grateful for all the love, blood, elation, sweat, and tears that comes from the gift of life.

The only way to live is to appreciate every breath we get to be around the ones we love…

AND

Cherish life!

Happy birthday son!

It will be fun to see what you do in this life!

Have a great Sunday!

GOOD EVENING FROM TPM!

I remember it was always a good time watching the ‘Powder Puff’ football game during Homecoming week back in the mid 90’s at Cedar Falls High School.

I remember watching many Powderpuff games through the years.

The games were always entertaining and competitive and seemed like a fun thing to do.

I remember at Peet they had the Freshman guys dress up like women and do cheerleading type stuff during Homecoming.

I think one of the only visible guys in the picture is Josh Hurley.

Homecoming means Fall is here or near.

I’ll stay in the Summer for NOW…

BUT

I look forward to the feel of Fall soon.

Enjoy this Saturday night!

GO WIN!!!

It’s about how much work you wanna put in, not about how many excuses you wanna make.

GOOD MORNING FROM TPM!

“The secret to change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” Socrates

We could say the things that need to be performed in life to succeed require AWARENESS and PRESENCE…

AND

This is a UNIVERSAL TRUTH for all people that will never change.

No matter how intrigued or inspired you are by someone’s message or words you cannot accomplish anything without…

AWARENESS and PRESENCE to APPLY the MESSAGE in your LIFE!

Please believe this simple, yet seemingly elusive reality to be true…

If you are AWARE and PRESENT…

You can CREATE whatever LIFE you’d LIKE!

The CONSCIOUS creator sees nothing as LUCK.

The UNCONSCIOUS bystander sees a world against them.

GO WIN!!!

GOOD EVENING FROM TPM!

Remember how magical 6th grade was?

I’m sorry if it wasn’t for you, but I loved it.

Myself, I was combing the halls of Cedar Heights those days.

Some 38 years later my daughter and her friend have the privilege of being in 6th grade together at Cedar Heights.

I think of how blessed I am that I still have friends from 6th grade that I went to Cedar Heights with 38 years ago.

Tonight, we send these two wild 6th graders to go cheer on the CF Tigers to a homecoming victory!

Layna is so excited for her first ever football game!

Be safe out there kids!

GO TIGERS!

GO WIN!!!
