Who is P.J. Fleck's wife, Heather Fleck? Taking a closer look at the personal life of Minnesota's head coach

Heather Fleck is the wife of Minnesota Golden Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck and plays a pivotal role in fostering a tight-knit and family-oriented culture within the team. But who exactly is Heather and what does she do?

Heather is a mother to a blended family of six children, including her son Gavin from her first marriage and P.J.'s three children, Carter, Paisley, and Harper.

Gophers player Noah Hitchcox spoke about the relationship Mrs. Fleck has with the team.

"I'm not the only one who thinks she is a mother figure; she's a mother figure to the whole program. I think a lot of guys find comfort in her. ... I don't think that happens everywhere else."

The team has a special connection and it has not gone over the head of her husband as she has been his inspiration.

"The amount of energy she has to give to other people inspires me to keep doing it even better every day, more than I did the day before. When you have somebody that you're married to that inspires you to do that, that's powerful. Some people call it a power couple. I firmly believe she makes us that. ... She's constantly changing our program." h/t Twin Cities Pioneer Press

Heather Fleck does give back to her community as she is on the board of directors at the local Roma's McDonald House.
