He will lead the freshman squad at Elkhorn South, which he said is a serious full-circle moment.
“Grew up here. Just have a super deep connection with this state, and being able to represent it. You know, being a teacher, I get to teach kids in this state. Being a coach, I can coach kids on the game that I love, that brings a lot of people together through different walks of life. And I think that’s the beauty of the Midwest, especially Nebraska, where you can bring different ideas together, and just accomplish a common goal. And it’s just something that’s really important to me,” he said.
Prochazka will also teach business at the high school level in the district.
