Tyler Guenther

Head 🏀 Coach of Appleton North ⚡️

[Marsha Frese @CoachFrese]

Glue players will always find a role on a team. Kids that play hard, set great screens, share the ball, run the floor hard, work to defend & rebound. TALK! Not a glamorous job but a much needed role.

[Tyler Guenther @Tyler_Guenther5]

Can’t wait to see Tay at the next level! Extremely versatile player, but an even better person and teammate! One that brings it every single day, she will be missed at A North!

@TayMaass will be bringing a winning brand of basketball, skill, IQ, and physicality to the 2026-27 @SWICWBB roster!! 💙💨🏀💯🔥

What a game! 74-72 win over West Allis Central. The bench was engaged, guys were connected on O and D. Ball moved and effort was high. @Grant_Hardy5 with MVP and special shout out to @willsween5 on the WBY scholarship! Little rest,then back at it for the FVA grind.

Why Coaching Is Harder Than People Think (A Holiday Reminder)…

Because coaching isn’t just about plays, drills, or game nights.

It’s about people.

It’s about walking into practice every day and managing emotions you didn’t create but are responsible for.

Your own.
Your players.
Your assistants.
Parents.
Administrators.
Fans.

It’s about teaching kids who are all at different stages.

Different maturity levels.
Different confidence levels.
Different home situations.

And somehow holding them to the same standards while still meeting them where they are.

It’s about decisions that look simple from the stands but feel heavy from the sideline.

Who plays.
When.
Why.
How you communicate it.

And how that decision might land on a 16-year-old who ties their identity to minutes.

It’s about losing sleep over kids who won’t buy in.

Over conversations you need to have.

Over mistakes you replay in your head long after everyone else moved on.

It’s about being judged by people who see the outcome, not the process.

The scoreboard, not the hours.

The result, not the relationships.

And yet, you show up again.

You plan. You teach. You model. You care.

As the season slows and the holidays arrive, this is the reminder:

What you do matters.

Even when it goes unseen.
Even when it feels heavy.
Even when it’s hard.

Coaching is about influence. And influence lasts longer than any season.

That’s why coaching is harder than people think. And also why it matters so much.

As the year winds down, I hope you find a little rest, a little perspective, and a lot of pride in the work you’re doing.

🎄Happy Holidays, Coach.

It is no wonder why we have zero chance of implementing a shot clock. We can’t even agree on a stat collection service in Wisconsin. So this year I will upload stats to two services and then a third service is going to do the top 10 poll.

[Tyler Guenther @Tyler_Guenther5]

43 days till practice starts! Appreciate the girls working hard on a Sunday again!
