Wired Axcess

Sometimes one person believing in you at the right time can completely change where your story ends. Season 4 Episode 7 of Wired Axcess Podcast with DJ K DuB Omaha sits down with Omaha Mavericks Women’s Basketball Head Coach Jamie Carey for a conversation that represents exactly what Wired Axcess is about: the journey behind the results. Before becoming a head coach, Carey experienced the highs and lows of being an elite athlete. Her basketball journey included adversity surrounding concussions, an unexpected change in direction, reaching a Final Four, representing Team USA, being drafted into the WNBA and learning from some of the best in the game. But this conversation isn’t simply about where basketball took her. It’s about who believed in her when her path changed. It’s about finding the right place, having the right people around you and putting in the work when nothing is guaranteed. Now in her second year leading Omaha Women’s Basketball, Carey is trying to build something bigger than wins and losses. With a roster featuring a strong Nebraska-prep presence, there’s another opportunity developing right here at home for athletes to continue their careers while representing Omaha. And for parents of young athletes, this conversation matters too. Your daughter can learn shooting, defense and X’s and O’s from a coach. But the lessons that stay with her long after basketball ends—accountability, perseverance, confidence, responding to adversity and earning opportunities—can matter even more. RIGHT PLACE. RIGHT PERSON BELIEVING IN YOU. HARD WORK. Sometimes that’s the difference between wondering what could have been…and discovering where you were supposed to go.

Season 4, Episode 6 of Wired Axcess Podcast goes behind the coverage with a former prep athlete who found a new way to stay connected to the games he loves—as Sports Editor for The Daily Nonpareil in Council Bluffs. What happens when the athlete eventually realizes the playing days are over? For our guest, it became the beginning of another journey. We get into the transition from athlete to sports media, finding purpose after competition, and the drive behind covering and promoting #IAPreps throughout Southwest Iowa—with some trips across the bridge into the Nebraska prep scene as well. But this conversation is bigger than scores, stats and bylines. We talk about the responsibility local sports media has to the athletes, coaches, schools and communities it serves. We get into where sports journalism is heading, his personal goals in the industry, and why giving young athletes another opportunity to #BeSeen matters. And 2026 isn't just another year for The Daily Nonpareil. Their push into dedicated IAPreps Fall Sports Media Days gives athletes and programs another platform to tell their stories before the season even begins. Wired Axcess has always believed there are opportunities beyond the biggest programs and biggest headlines. Sometimes connecting our audiences with the people actually covering those athletes is another piece of that mission. Different sides of the camera. Same purpose: help them #BeSeen.

Union Omaha’s new Head Coach Vincenzo Candela, better known as Coach Vinnie, joins Wired Axcess for a deep, personal conversation that goes far beyond the pitch. Born to a Colombian mother and Italian father, Vinnie shares how his multicultural roots shaped his passion, discipline, and pride. Growing up chasing the American Dream, Vinnie’s family moved to Florida, where he faced a defining choice early in life: pursue professional soccer or follow his father’s motocross legacy. He chose football, a decision that would take him across the Atlantic to Europe alone, competing and growing in Spain, Germany, and Belgium, and ultimately earning the honor of playing professionally for Colombia. Utilizing his speed, intelligence, and relentless work ethic, Vinnie left his mark everywhere he played. After returning to the U.S., he competed in the USL, then transitioned into coaching — starting as an assistant under one of his former coaches at Union Omaha. What happened next changed the club’s trajectory. Taking over as interim head coach in July, Vinnie helped guide Union Omaha from last place to 5th place and into the playoffs, proving that culture, chemistry, and belief matter just as much as tactics.Now officially named Head Coach, Vinnie reflects on leadership, trust, and what’s next for Union Omaha as he continues building a program rooted in identity and accountability.

We are honored to welcome a true Nebraska legend, Renee Saunders, to the podcast. The former #NEBPreps and #Husker multi-sport athlete and current Head Coach of the dynastic Skutt Catholic Volleyball program sits down for an incredible conversation. Coach Saunders reflects on the culture of excellence that has led her SkyHawks to 11 straight State Championship games and an astonishing 9 consecutive titles, detailing how she and her staff must constantly grow, adapt, and adjust to stay on top. She provides a powerful, firsthand perspective on the monumental growth of women's sports—from her own recruiting days to the surreal experience of seeing 90,000 fans at Volleyball Day in Nebraska and being an integral part of the Omaha Supernovas as their color commentator. She shares her awe, admitting she never thought a day like this would come for female athletes.The conversation also dives into the nuances of modern athletics, including her supportive, pressure-off approach to her athletes' recruiting process, the pros (reps, opportunity) and cons (burnout, rankings) of the AAU/High School combo, and the current stage of her career: giving back to the game she loves by running 16 satellite camps this year alone. This is a masterclass in leadership, legacy, and love for the game from a coach dedicated to leaving every person she meets better than when she found them.

Trusting the Process, Team Over Me & Life Lessons From Professionals In this powerful new episode of Wired Axcess, we welcome Omaha Westview Basketball alumnus Amir Martin for a candid conversation about his journey of resilience, growth, and self-realization. Amir discusses his recent commitment to Trinity Valley Men's Basketball, his decision to trust the JUCO route, and how the success of former #NEBPreps athletes inspired him to bet on himself. Amir takes us through the ultimate highs of being a promising sophomore to the harsh realities of a major injury that quieted calls from coaches. He shares the critical turning point of self-realization: understanding that talent alone is a dead end without elite work ethic, mental fortitude, and a strong support system. With guidance from pros like Omaha’s own champion Terence "Bud" Crawford, Amir learned to transform his approach—eating right, training with purpose, sharpening his mental game, and rediscovering his love for the sport. This is a story about how a "TEAM over me" mentality helped elevate the new Omaha Westview program to new heights in his senior year, and how the lessons learned from teammates and mentors have prepared him to prove he is ready for the next level.
