John Cook (born 1956) is currently the head coach for the Nebraska Cornhuskers women's volleyball team, in his 16th season as head coach in 2015. He has led the Huskers to three NCAA Women's Volleyball Championships, in 2000 by defeating Wisconsin, in 2006 by defeating Stanford, and in 2015 by defeating Texas. He is a two-time winner of the AVCA National Coach of the Year award. Entering the 2016 season, Cook has an overall record of 631-62 at Nebraska. Prior to becoming head coach at Nebraska, Cook served as head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers women's volleyball team, compiling a 161–73 record over seven seasons.
Cook graduated from the University of San Diego, earning his bachelor's degree in history in 1979. He completed his master’s degree in teaching and coaching effectiveness from San Diego State in 1991.
Cook and his wife Wendy, a former two-time All-America setter at San Diego State, are the parents of two children, Lauren and Taylor. Lauren was the starting setter for UCLA during the 2009 season and garnered National Freshman of the Year honors. She transferred to Nebraska in 2010 and finished her career there in 2012.
The son of PGA Tour official Jim Cook, John Cook was born in Toledo, Ohio, but grew up in southern California. He attended Miraleste High School in Rancho Palos Verdes, graduating in 1976. In addition to golf, Cook was a promising, but undersized quarterback in football through his sophomore year. He was advised by his high school golf coach (who also coached football) to concentrate on golf, which would give him his best opportunity for a collegiate scholarship. The coach, Wilbur Lucas, later said it was the only time he suggested an athlete drop a sport. Cook was also coached by former PGA Tour star Ken Venturi.
Cook was a showman and continued in this vein for the whole of his career, whilst not always riding in the British League, he was a regular rider in the Swedish League where he attained Swedishcitizenship in the early 90's and in fact was the Swedish Champion in 1992 winning all of his rides. He is also attributed with introducing Jet Ski watercraft to Australia, New Zealand and Europe where he became the first European Champion in closed course competition. During a speedway hiatus, he also competed as an American Expert Jet Ski racer and was ranked #4 in the World while racing underpowered craft.
"I'm Leaving" is a song written by Aaron Barker, Ron Harbin and L. David Lewis, and recorded by American country music artist Aaron Tippin. It was released in January 1999 as the second single from the album What This Country Needs. The song reached number 17 on the BillboardHot Country Singles & Tracks chart and number 87 on the Billboard 100. It also reached number 37 on the Canadian Country chart.
