Meet MVR-III alum Nathan Bruns, Class of 2012. 🎓
Nathan is a physical education teacher and baseball and softball coach with the Winfield R-IV School District. He is also a baseball and softball instructor at Ultimate Performance Training and serves as Club Director of the Missouri Mavericks.
Nathan is most proud of being a four-time GAC North Softball Coach of the Year, leading the Winfield Warriors softball program to a Final Four State Tournament appearance in 2023, and coaching the 2025 State Champion Pacific Legion Baseball Team. He also takes pride in directing the Missouri Mavericks Baseball/Softball Club, formerly the Jr. Indians, and providing thousands of baseball and softball lessons over the past 10 years.
Nathan says his experience at MVR-III helped prepare him for life after graduation through the tremendous coaches and mentors who guided him and helped shape him into the leader he is today. He is grateful for the teachers and coaches who went the extra mile to point him in the right direction and provide him with the tools for success.
Pacific continues to hold a special place in Nathan's heart. Through his work at Ultimate Performance Training, he remains connected to the area and proudly represents his hometown wherever he goes. One of his favorite parts of coaching is hearing students share stories about teachers and coaches he had growing up. To Nathan, it is a reminder that MVR-III continues to care for its own and that students have the opportunity to learn from so many positive role models within the district.
Some of Nathan's favorite memories include playing baseball for Coach Reed, who has since become a mentor, attending Friday night football games, being part of the ""6th Man"" basketball section, serving on the Athletic Leadership Committee, and building relationships with classmates who have become lifelong friends.
His advice for current students: Cherish every moment and be present in each one, because high school goes by so fast. Lean on the teachers and coaches who have been in your shoes, and take advantage of the resources and guidance they provide. There is no limit to your potential when you have the right people in your corner. Most importantly, be the highlight of someone's day. You never know what someone may be going through, and one interaction can make all the difference.
