Hey my name is Drew Benedict and as you may have seen on the home page, I'm a former basketball coach, a part-time average golfer, and a full-time human being.  I like mentioning those 3 things in particular when describing myself because I think it encapsulates me and the reason behind my posts in the least amount of words while still being effective.  I work in Operations so being efficient and effective makes me happy. 

​

I started writing because I became very aware in a struggling time in my life that I was not very good at talking about my feelings.  I found in my Master's program that I enjoyed the paper writing aspect and was able to tailor my papers to things that were a little more personal.  So I started writing about how I felt during a down period in my life and decided to post what I wrote on Twitter.  I was terrified for a brief second before hitting submit and the second I saw it posted, I immediately felt a feeling of relief.  

​

I mostly fill my void of not working in college basketball anymore with writing about the Indiana Hoosiers.

​

Thanks for reading!
