Jedd played high school basketball when the ball was still covered with leather. For the past seven years, he has coached community youth basketball, mainly boys 4th-8th grade. Two years ago, he joined the Play4Him staff and has had the opportunity to coach both boys and girls from 4th grade through high school. He has learned more about himself and coaching in these past two years than the players have learned from him. He loves being around young people and watching them develop as basketball players and as individuals. The next AAU season is just around the corner and Jedd can't wait to get back to practices and long, exhausting but exciting weekend tournaments.

Hi, my name is Jackson Lee and I am a 2023 graduate of Dordt University where I played on the basketball team. I have been around basketball for as long as I can remember. It is the only sport I have grown to love and I would not want to play any other sport. I was born in Anaheim, California; when I was five, my family moved to Owensboro, Kentucky. I lived there for eight years before moving to Chandler, Arizona. That is the last place I lived before coming to Sioux Center for college. The reason I have moved around so much is that my dad is a basketball coach, and one of the main reasons why I chose to go to college at Dordt was because my dad is the head coach at the University of South Dakota. Besides playing on the basketball team at Dordt, I also work at Pizza Ranch and occasionally ref youth basketball games. In the summer, I help at youth camps where I coach kids and help them learn the game of basketball. Since I started doing those camps, I have learned that all I want to do in life is coach basketball. My dad has been a big inspiration to me in that aspect as well. I have grown up seeing my dad coach in practices, games, and camps, and that has led me to find my dream which is to be a basketball coach.

My name is Kenzee Wunschel. I grew up on a farm outside of Schaller, Iowa, and graduated from Ridge View High School in 2020. I played volleyball and basketball for four year in high school. I am currently attending Iowa State University and am studying to be an elementary and special education teacher and would love to coach a high school team someday. After college, I plan on getting my masters in speech pathology. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a love for sports and teaching others what I have learned over the years. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, being involved with my church, camping, and watching any sporting event. I am looking forward to getting to know the girls I will be working with and coaching a sport I have so much passion for.
