We caught up with Schultz on the decision to transition into coaching and why she chose Iowa Western.

Iowa Western CC Assistant Coach Gabby Schultz said, “So it was kind of one of those things. I finished up my career at Pitt State and I was like, What am I going to do? I’ve only played softball my whole life. So it was kind of one of those situations. And I texted people around, got in contact with some people and realized that it was something I was excited for. Yeah, so my previous JUCO coach is actually the head coach here at Iowa Western Heidi Jordan and reached out to her about, you know, maybe helping me find some GA spots somewhere and we got to talking and realized that her assistant role was opening up and that was something that I was really interested in and kind of fell into place”.
