Lisa Bluder’s culture makes Iowa a destination, and players don’t want to leave
Sydney Affolter praised Lisa Bluder’s coaching style. Bluder has made two Final Fours in two straight years. Iowa had been to one Final Four before Bluder.
“She really grows the game and she cares about us more than just basketball players,” said Affolter.
Bluder’s culture is all about love.
“She treats us like family and I think that’s the most important part,” said Hannah Stuelke. “That’s why we’re so successful, we play together and we stay together on and off the court.”
The Hawkeyes’ two Final Four rosters are very similar, with no transfers coming in or out.
“People are valued in our program,” said Bluder. “I think if you treat people right and they understand how important they are to your success, they genuinely feel like they’re a part of it. I think they’ll stay, I really think it’s as simple as that.”
Bluder gives a lot of the credit to Jan Jensen and Jenni Fitzgerald, whom she’s been with for over 2 decades at Iowa.
“I mean I get to work every day with my best friends,” said Bluder. “It is such a comfort, but it also helps you get through the really low times and enjoy the high times even.”
“God, I get choked up thinking about it. You can’t describe what it’s like for us to have made it last year, but then go back to back as young coaches man,” said Jensen. “God has blessed us with friendship, with great teams, we get to coach these great young women, and Lisa in my opinion is as good as it gets as a leader.”
“We’ve all stuck together. It’s a dream we’re living our dreams”.
