For most fans, Jan Jensen is known as one of the most accomplished figures in women's basketball history—a six-on-six scoring sensation from Kimballton, Iowa, an NCAA scoring champion at Drake, a professional player in Europe, and now the head coach of the Iowa Hawkeyes. But in our latest podcast episode, we go beyond the résumé and the record books to explore the person behind the success. Jan shares stories from her remarkable journey, reflects on the mentors and relationships that shaped her career, and offers insight into the partnership with Lisa Bluder that helped elevate Iowa women's basketball into a national powerhouse.

What makes this conversation special is that it reveals the authentic, down-to-earth personality that has made Jan so beloved throughout Iowa. She talks about leadership, gratitude, family, and what it means to represent the Tigerhawk every day. Whether she's posing for a selfie at Target or connecting with fans across the state, Jan never loses sight of the privilege that comes with wearing Iowa across her chest. It's a candid, heartfelt conversation filled with humor, perspective, and the kind of wisdom that extends far beyond basketball. Hawkeye fans, sports fans, and anyone who appreciates great people with great stories won't want to miss this episode.
