Early Life
American Football personality; Bret Arnold Bielema, was born in Prophetstown, Illinois on the 13th of January, 1970.
His father; Arnie Bielema, worked in his neighbourhood and was known to help the locales with heavy-duty lifts due to his stature. Bielema’s mom; Marilyn Bielema, was very reserved and found deep meaning in sports.
The 51-year-old belongs to a White Caucasian ethnicity and grew up with his sisters Brandi and Betsy Bielema.
Unlike many of his childhood friends, Bielema grew up with a keen interest in American Football.
He soon picked up an active membership in his schooling days; earning him a chance to develop his moves quite early.
Education
Bret Bielema received much appraisal for his extra-curricular performance at school. He completed his basic education four decades ago before finishing High School with very good grades.
However, it was during his time at the University of Lowa, that the sport-kid got a chance to live his dream.
Between 1998 and 1992, Bret Bielema played college football, owning the defensive lineman position for four consecutive years; and captaining the team during his senior season. His coach; Hayden Fry, help put in a good word on his behalf to top personalities of the sport, earning Bielema a chance to get good drafts in years that followed.
Nonetheless, Bret Bielema‘s time at school was dented by his controversial comments to Iowa State head coach, Jim Walden, after they lost to Iowa 21-7 in his senior season. This led to Bielema‘s reprimand by University of Lowa officials.
He graduated from the Institution a few years later with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing; but headed to the Arena Football League; where he played for the Milwaukee Mustangs.
Career
Bret Bielema was appointed as head coach of Wisconsin Badgers, ending his first regular-season 11–1 (7–1 in Big Ten Conference play). On the 16th of September, 2006, his team secured a 14–0 victory over San Diego State; making him the third coach of the Badgers to win his first three games.
Before the end of 2006, he spurred the side to a stunning victory over Purdue and tied the record for most wins by a first-year coach at UW with seven. He secured his ninth victory by beating Penn State Nittany Lions 13–3 and set another record on the 11th of November after defeating Iowa Hawkeyes 24–21.
By doing so, Bret Bielema became the first head coach in Big Ten history to win ten games in his first season. He also had eleven consecutive wins in the regular season with a 35–3 victory over the University at Buffalo on the 18th of November, 2006.

It became Badgers’ first victory over a top-ranked team in the division since 1981. However, he ended his tie with Ohio State 1-5. With many records tied to his name, many believe Bret Bielema’s legacy remains hard-done-by consecutive Rose Bowls losses. He remains the only coach in Wisconsin history to suffer this fit.
