Madison Weisinger, Texas Lutheran University, Volleyball - Character & Community

MADISON WEISINGER OF TEXAS LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY, a senior middle blocker on the women's volleyball team from Friendswood, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Character & Community Female Student-Athlete of the Week for the week beginning October 10.

The SCAC Character & Community award honors the efforts of student-athletes who excel in the field of athletics, and also serve their campus and community.



While you can find the Friendswood, Texas, native excelling on the court this season - leading the SCAC in block assists (63) and second in hitting percentage (.369) and total blocks (74) as the Bulldogs continue their best start in over a decade - by day, you can find the Education major student-teaching at Koennecke Elementary.

“My journey into teaching began with my love for coaching," said Weisinger. "I had an amazing volleyball coach, Vanessa Seghers, growing up and she made a huge difference in my life, practically raising me into who I am today."

"The lessons she taught me through volleyball made a huge impact on my character and the way I view my life," continued Weisinger. "I am becoming a teacher to share these valuable life lessons through volleyball and in class. Now, I am an assistant P.E. coach at Koennecke Elementary and I love every day of it. I get to build relationships with kids, teach these life lessons, and spark their interests in sports through P.E. I am also learning a ton and growing as a teacher during my time there. I am so thankful for what Koennecke and these students are teaching me. I am looking forward to teaching and coaching, as my career."

Recently, Madison and her Texas Lutheran volleyball teammates hosted “Koennecke Elementary Night,” against Huston-Tillotson with chants for “Coach W” and the Bulldogs echoing through Memorial Gymnasium in the Bulldogs' sweep of the Rams. At the match’s conclusion, Madison was surrounded by Koennecke students drowning her in hugs and high fives - making clear her impact off the court as “Coach W” on her young pupils.

Over the course of five years at Texas Lutheran, Madison has been a leader and role model for her team and within the Seguin community the Bulldogs serve - making the world a better place along the way and influencing the next generation.
