Shaun $content.LastName Reads!

 

Who says video games and books don’t go together? Not NWC Volleyball Coach Shaun Pohlman. He grew up playing Nintendo games like Tecmo Super Bowl, Contra, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, ExcitBike, Mario Brothers and Ninja Gaiden for fun. But he also devours books to inspire winning teams. Some of his favorites are “Talent is Overrated” by Geoff Colvin, “Who Moved My Cheese,” by Spencer Johnson and “The Energy Bus” by Jon Gordon.

When he’s not reading or coaching, he plays around with graphic design projects—that new sign in front of the Cabre Gym concession stand—yup, he designed it. Speaking of signs, bet you didn’t know Shaun is also fluent in sign language. Need a Murphy bed? Shaun can build you one!

How’d he get interested in so many different things? He took advice from Ben Franklin: If you do tomorrow what you did today, you will get tomorrow what you got today.
