Assistant women's basketball coach Mike Mayfield takes necessary steps to find success. He puts in long hours, works hard and surrounds himself with the right people. At first glance, it's a simple recipe for success. Once basketball season begins, Mayfield joked that he says goodbye to his wife until the season is over. It's easy to acknowledge when hard work and long days are needed, but it's another story to be able to go through and actually put in the work. Mayfield is one of those special people that finds a way to put in work beyond the typical eight-hour day, year in and year out. "Here our motto is you're only as good as the hard work you put in, and that is recruiting," said women's head basketball coach, Jessica Pelzel.
