discuss the paintings of the extraordinary Dutch artist Jan Schoonhoven (1914 – 1994) – angles that might elude those engaged in painting non-objective forms today While viewers may grasp the purity of Schoonhoven’s relatively small paintings they might just as well discover a structural intimacy in Schoonhoven’s work that resembles works by some of the genre painters in seventeenth century Holland At least one of the better-know artists from this period painted during off-hours while running an inn for travelers which partially accounts for Vermeer’s relatively small who worked as a civil servant in the municipality of Delft for most of his adult life keeping a regular schedule on a diurnal basis that commenced upon the completion of a day’s work at the post office Schoonhoven lived a relatively simple life We know that he was introduced to the Italian achrome artist at a strategic point in the Dutch artist’s career who for a short time exhibited with the Zero group in Dusseldorf was favorably disposed to the molded paper paintings of Schoonhoven Eventually the molded paper works moved into a series of works using corrugated paper and eventually into the grid structure for which he later became known             In the grid-paintings that emerged in the first half of the 1970s a luminescent quality appears in the all-over whiteness of Schoonhoven’s surfaces as the scale of these works gradually increased in size A selection can be seen on the north side of the gallery to the right of the stairway on the second floor at David Zwirner on West 20th Street The quality of these works in which paper is discretely mounted over a perpendicular grid The chronology begins on the southwest side of the gallery where it is best to begin viewing the exhibition in order to experience the development of the artist’s central idea Schoonhoven’s works suggests a quality of invisibility and intimacy in painting perhaps better understood by artists and scholars in East Asia than by those in New York it became excruciatingly clear to me that the conventional concept of installation photographs of these work in situ had no meaning One could see the interior architecture of the gallery These works require a way of seeing closer to the manner in which we might view works by paper by Paul Klee or etchings by Rembrandt the work is so refreshingly intimate that one may feel a special repose in looking at them There is no a prioi text available to explain this (as far as I know) These works insist on the experience of seeing There is no separation between the object as art and the experience of aesthetic They are so perfectly entwined in Schoonhoven’s work              These paintings are invisible by contemporary standards at a time when virtual economics is replacing haptic (sensory) experience These paintings are invisible because there is really nothing There is no image to shock our senses into retreat Schoonhoven allows us to see everything in his paintings Ruminating on what it is like to stare upward on a clear cold winter night these works are bright and luminous – and as empty as the universe              Il est temps (as the French say) or “it takes time.”  It would seem that Schoonhoven’s way of seeing was paradoxically embedded in a knowledge of the past and the history of the present The memory that emerges from what the retina beholds – what Aldous Huxley once called “the windows to the brain “ – includes the neurons and electrons which are fully prepared to come to terms with this kind of seeing/experience Schoonhoven was a visionary artist less in terms of theory than through the kind of poetics that helps us remember to remember His work offers a means for us know who we were and what we might still become at a time when the necessary to re-evoke this quality may mean the basis of our survival Knowledgeable in the history and aesthetics of both Western and Asian art written

Volume 4 - 2024 | https://doi.org/10.3389/frhs.2024.1305955 This article is part of the Research TopicAdvancements and Challenges in Implementation Science: 2023View all 12 articles implementation strategies reported in the literature are commonly poorly described and take the implementation context insufficiently into account To unravel the black box of implementation strategy development insight is needed into effective theory-based and practical-informed strategies The current study aims to describe the stepwise development of a practical-informed and theory-based implementation strategy bundle to implement ProMuscle a nutrition and exercise intervention for community-dwelling older adults Methods: The first four steps of Implementation Mapping were adopted to develop appropriate implementation strategies previously identified barriers to implementation were categorized into the constructs of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) the CFIR-ERIC matching tool linked barriers to existing implementation strategies Behavioral change strategies were added from the literature where necessary evidence for implementation strategies was sought in codesign with involved healthcare professionals and implementation experts implementation strategies were operationalized to practical implementation activities following the guidance provided by Proctor et al These practical implementation activities were processed into an implementation toolbox which can be tailored to a specific context and presents prioritized implementation activities in a chronological order Results: A previous study identified and categorized a total of 654 barriers for the implementation of a combined lifestyle intervention within the CFIR framework Due to the fact that many strategies impacted multiple barriers seven overarching themes emerged based on the strategies: assessing the context Codesign sessions with professionals and implementation experts resulted in the development of supported and tangible implementation activities for the final 20 strategies The implementation activities were processed into a web-based implementation toolbox which allows healthcare professionals to tailor the implementation activities to their specific context and guides healthcare professionals to prioritize implementation activities chronologically during their implementation Conclusion: A theory-based approach in combination with codesign sessions with stakeholders is a usable Implementation Strategy Mapping Method for developing a practical implementation strategy bundle to implement ProMuscle across multiple settings in primary care The next step involves evaluating the developed implementation strategies to assess their impact on the implementation and adoption of ProMuscle Notably, it is not expected that every setting has similar barriers for implementation; instead, various combinations of barriers are likely to emerge, which may change over time (6, 7). The lack of guidance makes it challenging to translate the strategies to specific contexts for different EBPs (5, 8) Selecting appropriate implementation strategies and mapping and tailoring them to address the barriers in the specific context require a systematic approach Using an Implementation Strategy Mapping Method encompasses the implementation practice and results in transparent strategies; this enables researchers or implementers to assess whether the developed strategies align with their specific context involving continual revisiting of previous steps throughout the process to ensure all adopters and implementers In the literature, there are hardly any studies that fully and systematically describe the selection and development of implementation strategies following the crucial steps of an Implementation Strategy Mapping Method, including attention to stakeholder engagement in the identification of barriers and in the selection and development of implementation strategies (11) we aimed to provide a transparent description of the strategy development process for implementing a combined lifestyle intervention across multiple settings in primary care following Implementation Mapping as an Implementation Strategy Mapping Method ensuring attention to specific contexts by engaging relevant stakeholders throughout the process The combined lifestyle intervention is called ProMuscle, which aims to maintain the independence of older adults. ProMuscle is a 12-week program that combines resistance exercise training with dietary consultations to increase the daily protein intake. Over the years, ProMuscle has undergone further development and has shown promising effects on physical functioning, strength, and muscle mass among community-dwelling older adults (12) the implementation of combined lifestyle interventions like ProMuscle holds significant potential in contributing to the maintenance of physical independence among older individuals this could have a positive effect on the prevalence of chronic diseases and reduce healthcare costs the current study aims to develop implementation strategies using codesign sessions with relevant stakeholders to facilitate the implementation and adoption of ProMuscle across multiple settings in primary care A qualitative inductive, codesign approach was used to develop theory-based and practical-informed strategies that could align with different contexts. The reporting of this study adheres to the Standard for Reporting Implementation Studies (StaRI) checklist (13) which is centered on implementing ProMuscle in the Netherlands The primary objective of the PUMP-fit study is to increase the adoption of ProMuscle by selecting and evaluating theory-based context-tailored implementation strategies This study was conducted in the Region Foodvalley in the Netherlands The Region Foodvalley is a collaboration between eight municipalities Its target is to provide a better nutritional environment for the residents of the region more than 200 healthcare professionals (HCPs; including physiotherapists and dieticians) work within primary care settings across eight municipalities The implementation strategies were developed for these professionals because they are the target population for implementing ProMuscle in primary care Physiotherapists and dieticians working in the Region Foodvalley were recruited through various channels including the interest list of the PUMP-fit study calls for participation in newsletters of professionals’ associations Healthcare professionals were included if they were physiotherapists or dieticians involved in treating older adults within primary care implementation experts from the Netherlands were personally invited to participate in this study their involvement aimed to provide input on the conceptualization of implementation strategies Codesign studies share similarities with focus group studies in qualitative research, as high-quality interactive discussions among the cocreators are pivotal for a successful process. Although qualitative research lacks existing rules regarding recommended sample sizes, recommendations have been made to recruit cohorts of 6–12 participants for focus group studies (14) a recommendation of 10–12 participants for the codesign process is advised which may also account for dropouts due to the process being conducted over multiple sessions In this study, the Implementation Strategy Mapping Method, “Implementation Mapping”, was adopted (9) As this study aims to describe the development of implementation strategies the first four of the five steps of Implementation Mapping were followed Due to the variations in primary care settings across the Netherlands it is expected that the context in which ProMuscle is implemented will present diverse contextual determinants; hence it is anticipated that the implementation strategies will vary for each setting the involvement of various stakeholders during the whole process was perceived as an essential step to align the strategies with the context Stakeholder involvement was incorporated in various ways into these steps The procedures for each step are described below The CFIR consolidates implementation determinants from various implementation theories and comprises five major domains (namely and process) made up of 39 constructs that influence the implementation of innovations into practice to validate the identified barriers and facilitators in the literature and 3 community-dwelling older adults were asked about determinants for implementation eventually prioritizing the identified barriers Two methods were used to link the identified barriers to implementation strategies and theories described in the literature were studied to select implementation strategies stakeholders were consulted to contribute to the development of additional strategies the top three strategies with the highest agreement or three strategies with an agreement higher than 50% would be used were consulted to identify implementation strategies targeting behavior In addition to selecting implementation strategies based on taxonomies and theories described in the literature input from involved healthcare professionals was retrieved during two codesign sessions Codesign sessions were scheduled with 10 healthcare professionals (physiotherapists and dieticians) two 90-min online (due to the COVID restrictions) codesign sessions with healthcare professionals were held healthcare professionals were informed about ProMuscle through a short presentation healthcare professionals discussed possible effective strategies to overcome barriers for implementing ProMuscle healthcare professionals were unaware of the implementation strategies identified from the literature if strategies from the literature were not mentioned by healthcare professionals the researcher would propose them to the healthcare professionals to explore whether they could also be considered effective strategies The strategies retrieved from both the literature and codesign sessions were described in a matrix the research group matched the strategies proposed by healthcare professionals to those from the literature and combined them into the matrix The strategies that remained and could not be combined with the strategies from the literature were treated as new and added to the matrix Proctor et al. stated that providing theoretical justification for implementation strategies can address their potential working mechanisms, giving insight into how and why a strategy might facilitate change (2). Theoretical justification can take various forms: empirical, theory-based, and pragmatic (2) Empirical evidence is considered evidence from research or an individual’s knowledge and experience with strategies that have been proven effective Theory-based evidence refers to the theoretical knowledge gained in a research field or concerning a specific subject Pragmatic justification is derived from clinical expertise, experiences, or the needs of relevant stakeholders concerning overcoming barriers. Although pragmatic evidence does not provide empirical or theoretical evidence for strategies, it can provide insights into the rationale for identifying factors that should be addressed and how strategies could address them (2, 27) the research group sought evidence for the identified implementation strategies in scientific literature The literature that described theories and taxonomies linking specific implementation determinants to strategies was used studies that investigated individual strategies were sought in the database of EPOC and implementation science journals If the effectiveness of specific strategies was not examined in the literature theory-based justification was sought in existing theories for the underlying constructs identified in step 1 studies reporting implementation strategies in similar contexts were consulted In addition to seeking empirical evidence and theoretical justification we aimed to derive pragmatic justification during the codesign sessions with healthcare professionals Healthcare professionals discussed possible effective strategies to overcome barriers for implementing ProMuscle and provided insights into the effectiveness of the strategies based on their clinical expertise and needs pragmatic justification for the strategies was obtained during meetings with implementation experts and researchers as well as through interviews with older adults The next step in developing appropriate implementation strategies involves operationalizing the implementation activities in full detail. The literature emphasizes the needs and challenges of specifying and reporting implementation strategies (2). Guided by the recommendations for specifying and reporting implementation strategies outlined by Proctor et al. (2) the operationalization of the implementation strategies considered seven dimensions: actor These dimensions should be fully described to facilitate measurement and reproducibility a matrix was developed to describe all seven dimensions of each proposed implementation strategy codesign with stakeholders was established in an iterative way through consensus meetings with the research team and interactive work sessions with healthcare professionals healthcare professionals were divided into groups five groups worked with themes containing several overlapping strategies to make sure all strategies had been covered and to limit workload per codesign session The matrix was continuously supplemented with input from healthcare professionals resulting in a complete matrix that incorporated input from stakeholders and the literature were developed (Implementation Mapping step 4) It was important to create a practical tool to assist healthcare professionals and provide them with the ability to tailor the implementation strategies to their specific context the research group was aware of the different settings in which ProMuscle would be implemented consequently leading to different contexts and barriers During the development of the implementation toolbox the research group consulted 1 implementation expert and 10 professionals to create a practical tool for healthcare professionals implementing ProMuscle The described implementation activities were presented to an implementation expert the most practical way to present the activities in an online platform was discussed the presentation of the tool was designed to be user-friendly and inviting for professionals to use it The research team, along with Dutch implementation experts (n = 2) and HCPs, i.e., physiotherapists (n = 8) and dieticians (n = 2) working in the Region Foodvalley, participated in the interactive codesign sessions to provide input for the development of implementation strategies. Table 1 presents the participation of stakeholders across each step Participants of the codesign sessions presented for all four steps of the chosen Implementation Strategy Mapping Method Flowchart development implementation strategy bundle and implementation toolbox Identified determinants influencing the implementation of combined lifestyle interventions linked to theoretical constructs The selected constructs from CFIR in the previous step were entered in the CFIR-ERIC Matching Tool and this method resulted in multiple strategies advised for the specific determinants The initial step involves excluding strategies deemed not applicable because they did not align with the context for implementing ProMuscle the strategy to make billing easier was a level 2 endorsed strategy for the construct “costs.” However the combined lifestyle intervention ProMuscle is not reimbursed and recipients are required to pay for participation the research group decided that this strategy would not be suitable for implementation in this phase this strategy could be considered and added to the strategy bundle if deemed necessary For constructs “patient needs and resources,” “engaging,” and “other personal attributes,” the CFIR-ERIC strategy matching tool did not yield (appropriate) strategies to align with the context. In the end, this step resulted in 40 appropriate implementation strategies. Of the 40 strategies, 32 were retrieved from the ERIC taxonomy (22), 5 from the TDF, and 2 from the taxonomy of Kok et al. (25) In addition, the input from healthcare professionals and implementation experts during the codesign sessions was mostly practical and was not specifically linked to implementation strategies as described in the literature and the ERIC taxonomy. The activities proposed by healthcare professionals align with the action dimension, according to Proctor et al. (2), for most of the strategies that were found in the literature (as presented in Table 3) Implementation strategies assigned to overarching themes and relating CFIR construct(s) For the strategies derived from the literature that were not mentioned by healthcare professionals the researchers asked whether the remaining strategies could be effective or not Three strategies that appeared in the literature but were not mentioned by healthcare professionals were “conduct local need assessment,” “assess for readiness and identify barriers and facilitators,” and “develop academic partnerships.” Because the healthcare professionals were not experienced in implementation science and likely had insufficient awareness for assessing the context (needs the research group decided to elaborate on these strategies anyway the three strategies were classified as level 1 strategies according to the CFIR-ERIC Matching Tool To illustrate the elaboration of this step, in the following box (Box 1) we present how the construct “costs” within the domain intervention characteristics was linked to implementation strategies Linking construct “costs” to implementation strategies with the CFIR-ERIC tool Description of constructs that felt under theme costs healthcare professionals and implementation experts provided pragmatic evidence from their own experience with implementation which resulted in pragmatic evidence for implementation strategies concerning the strategies in theme “Patient needs and resources” To illustrate the improved methodology of developing implementation strategies, the theme costs will be described in detail in Box 3. For a complete description of all strategies, including the evidence for each strategy, see Appendix B Description of the theoretical justification of the strategies in theme costs The research group translated the retrieved strategies into Dutch and provided global information about the strategies to further operationalize them during the codesign sessions The first group of healthcare professionals worked with theme costs and the second group worked with themes process The third group worked with themes network internally The fourth group worked with theme knowledge A fifth group consisting of dieticians was considered a validation group because the other four groups consisted of physiotherapists The group of dieticians checked whether they agreed with the proposed activities and were asked if they missed specific activities Healthcare professionals provided additional and practical input concerning the “actors,” “action,” “dose,” and “justification” dimensions, according to Proctor et al. (2) The research group complemented the specification with input from the literature. Input from the literature, research groups, and healthcare professionals resulted in fully detailed implementation strategies for all seven themes. A complete description of the strategies for theme costs is presented in Table 4. For the remaining themes, the strategies are described in Appendix B Table 4. Description of strategies concerning the theme costs following the recommendation of Proctor et al. (2) Themes Assessing the context and champions were seen as important for all other themes the strategies assigned to these themes were considered obligatory to start the implementation The research group consulted multiple implementation experts and professionals to create a practical tool for healthcare professionals implementing ProMuscle Implementation experts mentioned that it was important for the tool to be easy to use It should not take much time to understand the tool They emphasized the importance of providing an overview where professionals should not have to perform extensive scrolling the implementation activities should be presented in chronological order the research team assigned every implementation activity to a specific time frame The activities could be assigned to one or more time frames The following time frames were used: 8–6 weeks preimplementation This resulted in an online implementation toolbox in which implementation actions are chronologically described and bundled per theme healthcare professionals are free to choose which theme would apply to their specific context a function was built to check whether actions were conducted and to add remarks The four steps resulted in a full description of 20 strategies, divided over 7 overarching themes. A complete description of all 20 strategies and the barriers they address is presented in Appendix B. The theory-based and practical implementation activities were added to a web-based implementation tool. Figure 1 presents an overview of the conducted steps and the methods used to retrieve input. As shown in Figure 1 the steps of Implementation Mapping were slightly changed relevant stakeholders provided input to provide an implementation strategy bundle for healthcare professionals that can be tailored to their specific contexts and added this bundle in an online toolbox This paper describes the methodology of developing a theoretically justified and practically tailored implementation strategy bundle to implement a combined lifestyle intervention for community-dwelling older adults across multiple settings in primary care. The Implementation Strategy Mapping Method was guided by Implementation Mapping (9) the four steps of Implementation Mapping were followed Because this study focuses on multiple settings in primary care and various contexts were explored a great number of determinants for implementation emerged which ultimately led to 40 linked implementation strategies The addition of an extra step to the methodology was deemed necessary to provide structure to the array of implementation strategies the diverse collection of strategies could enable healthcare professionals to tailor their strategies according to their specific contexts the structural approach guided by Implementation Mapping and the embedded codesign with healthcare professionals and implementation experts led to the development of a practical and theory-informed strategy bundle the strategies were tailored to the context in which they were supposed to be applied The implementation toolbox serves as a guide for healthcare professionals assisting them during the implementation and overcoming barriers related to their contexts A large number of implementation strategies were described in detail and included in the final implementation toolbox for healthcare professionals who aim to implement a combined lifestyle intervention The large proportion of strategies can be justified by the multiple determinants that were found as possible barriers for implementing a combined lifestyle intervention For the implementation of a combined lifestyle intervention determinants at multiple levels can affect the implementation results by including multiple strategies in the implementation toolbox we can ensure that healthcare professionals can tailor strategies aligning with their specific contexts and can adjust them when encountering other barriers during the implementation process The wide use of multicomponent strategies in implementation science and the ones that were investigated and found effective in different trial studies is grounded in the understanding that implementation is often influenced not only by one determinant but by a combination of determinants Because this study described strategies for multiple barriers, an implementation plan can be tailored to the specific contexts in which the intervention is implemented (6) due to input from healthcare professionals actions for the strategies are very practical and should be applicable to (mostly) every healthcare practice implementing ProMuscle determinants for all levels of implementation according to the CFIR were considered in developing the implementation toolbox tailoring an implementation plan to specific contexts should be possible knowledge about the strategies could be used to implement other combined lifestyle interventions for community-dwelling older adults If the implementation toolbox is found effective the most well-known and widely used method that incorporates stakeholder input and adjusted its steps to better align with the scope of our study (multiple settings) The codesign sessions were an organic and iterative process during all four steps healthcare professionals provided input on possible actions concerning the seven themes These codesign sessions provided practical input and all proposed activities could be linked to implementation strategies suggested by the CFIR-ERIC tool and other taxonomies the codesign sessions resulted in tailored implementation strategies for all seven themes the correspondence between the results of the literature search and the codesign sessions suggests that the developed implementation strategies match the context in which ProMuscle will be implemented A limitation of this study was that the CFIR-ERIC Matching Tool was used to identify strategies for the potential barriers. Although the CFIR-ERIC tool is widely used in implementation science, it is based on the experiences of implementation researchers and not all strategies included in the tool are evaluated for their effectiveness (22) this limitation was partly resolved by the literature search conducted in step 3 Although little empirical evidence was found for individual strategies the justification lies in the theory and models underpinning the strategies to overcome specific barriers when implementing a combined lifestyle intervention Further research should investigate not only the link between determinants and strategies but also the effectiveness of the bundled implementation strategies The utilization of an Implementation Strategy Mapping Method with an important role for codesign in each step led to the development of theoretically justified and practical implementation strategies to support healthcare professionals to implement a combined lifestyle intervention for community dwelling older adults A significant number of implementation strategies are fully described and can serve as a first overview for other implementers taking the context into account by incorporating codesign in all four steps has resulted in a theoretically informed final product the implementation toolbox could be a practical tool that can be tailored to an individual's context for healthcare professionals willing to implement a combined lifestyle intervention such as ProMuscle Future research will focus on evaluating the implementation strategy bundle regarding the implementation ProMuscle in primary care The raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be made available by the authors without undue reservation The studies involving humans were approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of UMC Utrecht The studies were conducted in accordance with the local legislation and institutional requirements The participants provided their written informed consent to participate in this study The author(s) declare financial support was received for the research The research described in this paper was financially supported by a grant from the Regiodeal Foodvalley (162135) The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest All claims expressed in this article are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of their affiliated organizations Any product that may be evaluated in this article or claim that may be made by its manufacturer is not guaranteed or endorsed by the publisher Co-designing implementation strategies for the WALK-Cph intervention in Denmark aimed at increasing mobility in acutely hospitalized older patients: a qualitative analysis of selected strategies and their justifications 2.

Follow him on Twitter In an effort to curb increasing number plate thefts occurring around the Mooroolbark area police will be running an event next week offering both awareness tips and free resources Victoria Police’s Operation SafePL8 provides officers the opportunity to hand out anti-theft screws which go a long way in preventing number plates from being stolen Having seen what Mooroolbark Police called a “dramatic increase” in plate thefts officers will be set up at Mooroolbark Train Station on 17 September to provide free anti-theft screws Acting Sergeant Matthew Schoonhoven said across the east the rise in number plate thefts over the last month was upwards of 50 per cent A typical month would see around 100 thefts of this kind but this has tripled to 300 in a month more recently “We’re tending to find a lot of criminals are using the number plates to do aggravated burglaries and home invasions basically to disguise their ID or disguise the fact they’re driving a stolen car,” Acting Sgt Schoonhoven said The community focused initiative aims to provide residents of Mooroolbark and surrounding areas peace of mind that their number plates are secured Acting Sgt Schoonhoven said by deterring the stealing of number plates in the first instance makes for either reduced offending or an easier identification process for police “Say they take them off a Commodore in the street and then attach them to a similar looking car which might have been stolen or been involved in a lot of things it’s very hard for us to track back who they are because they’ve got these false plates on,” he said multiple number plate thefts will happen in the same night which Acting Sgt Schoonhoven said can lead to the changing of plates in between different burglaries or invasions increasing the challenge for police in catching the offenders While the proactive policing unit will often host events of this kind Acting Sgt Schoonhoven said this Mooroolbark Police Station initiative is somewhat unique but something they hope to continue “It isn’t something we do that often and we’re definitely looking at increasing that and doing multiple of these not just in Mooroolbark but Lilydale and Belgrave and spreading it more so now that the crime has gone up.” Even though the focus will be around number plate theft prevention Acting Sgt Schoonhoven said it will also be an opportunity for the community to engage with police and raise any concerns “We’re going to have not just uniform members from Mooroolbark we’ll have transit police from the Nunawading Command and a couple members from the proactive policing unit so there’ll be people there from all over the place answering questions,” he said “It’ll be a good community engagement event with high visibility it just shows we’re out and about and happy to take on any questions from anyone.” While hardware and automotive stores sell anti-theft screws this event is an opportunity for both conversation about preventing number plate theft and accessing the screws for free cancelling the registration and applying for a new one is the first step It’s also important to update the details

Bosma and Clayton Bosma during a time out in Unity Christian vs Clarinda quarterfinal action of the Class 2A Iowa state baseball tournament played Tuesday Unity coach Marlin Schoonhoven talks to player Clayton Bosma during Unity Christian vs Clarinda quarterfinal action of the Class 2A Iowa state baseball tournament played Tuesday Iowa — Marlin Schoonhoven chose the perfect time to walk away After completing his 23rd season as the head coach of the Unity Christian baseball team in 2020 Schoonhoven made the decision that 2021 would be his final year leading the Knights The Knights sent Schoonhoven off in style in season number 24 finishing with a 21-8 record and making it all the way to the Class 2A state semifinals It was the Knights’ second state tournament appearance in program history For his part in leading Unity Christian back to Iowa high school baseball’s biggest stage Schoonhoven has been selected as The Journal’s 2021 Baseball Coach of the Year The season ended sooner than Schoonhoven and his players ultimately wanted as Unity Christian lost a 4-3 heartbreaker to Van Meter in the semifinals but the Knights’ longtime skipper is still plenty grateful for everything he experienced with his team this past season “I’m very joyful and happy,” Schoonhoven said “There have been a lot of things that people have complimented me on but you want to also understand that the kids did the work.” Schoonhoven told his team early in the season that he would be stepping away the Knights’ players were determined to send him out on top and he let us know,” Knights graduate and Northwestern freshman Clayton Bosma said The Knights’ state appearance was their first since the 2002 tournament back before any of the players on the roster were even born which ended with a 4-1 Knights’ loss to Eagle Grove in the state semifinals came in Schoonhoven’s fifth year at the helm the Knights were led by a strong group of seniors and Tanner Schouten boosted the team to postseason success The team also led its class with 23 triples Unity Christian allowed just 78 walks on the season the fourth-fewest amongst Iowa’s Class 2A teams “Athletes make your job easy,” Schoonhoven said “I think these guys were all-around great athletes I think if you have the talent and the athletes Schouten was another player that had rave reviews for Schoonhoven “He truly wanted a team that was player-led and felt comfortable with receiving feedback from players after practice and during games,” Schouten said The last thing was how he wanted to make sure that things that happened in the game would carry over to real life so that us guys would learn life lessons through the summer.” “He valued fun and fellowship over winning games and his success was defined by the end of the season Schoonhoven did his best to soak up his last weeks as the Knights’ skipper and the Unity Christian fans would remember for a long time “Every coach probably thinks about that,” Schoonhoven said You’re kind of hoping that you do it the right way.” and we had the ability to get down there,” Bosma said I think he 100 percent did that the right way.” Schoonhoven is stepping away to focus on his job as principal at Sheldon Christian School and cheer a few of the kids on that were juniors or sophomores or freshmen this year that will still be playing,” Schoonhoven said “I think I’ll just step back and I’m definitely going to keep track of what is going on with Unity baseball but I’m going to try to let the coach coach SIOUX CITY — Jose Sermo had one last gift for the Sioux City fans SERGEANT
