Pat Juckem

I currently serve as the head men’s basketball coach at Washington University in St. Louis.  Previously, I was the head coach at Coe College (Iowa) and University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.  I currently reside in St. Louis with my wife, Elissa along with my boys Emmett and Gavin.  I’ve had the great fortune of coaching outstanding young men throughout my career.  The day I accepted the job at WashU (May 1st, 2018), I spoke with Justin on the phone as he had decided to attend our university to study and play basketball.  It was immediately evident that Justin was special.   Coaching Justin was a privilege and I will be forever thankful to have been part of his journey.  

To me, living #HardyStrong means living with relentless positivity, facing life’s challenges head on while not being afraid of failure.
