Jeff Behrens — “The Man Behind The Curtain”

Jeff Behrens, Athletic Director at Pewaukee Schools (WI), opens up about a part of the job most people never see—the solitude that comes with leading from behind the scenes. Whether it’s the high of a championship win or the heartbreak of a sectional loss, Behrens reflects on what it means to carry both with humility, without a group to lean on like athletes, coaches, or parents often have. And yet, in the quiet, he finds meaning through the relationships that last beyond the final whistle.
