Do you coach the athlete—or the position they play?

In this episode, we explore how understanding who your athletes are—not just what they can do—unlocks a deeper level of development, trust, and success.

Inspired by “Athletic Minds: Unlocking Potential Through Personality and Learning,” this conversation challenges traditional coaching habits that focus solely on performance and winning.

🏃🏽‍♂️ Why do we still pick captains based only on stats and speed?🧠 What happens when coaches fail to recognize different learning styles and emotional responses?📊 And how can standardized personality and learning assessments reshape how we teach, train, and lead?

The episode highlights the transition years—middle school to high school to college—as the most critical stages for holistic development. It calls for coaches to move beyond bias, ego, and outdated models to become true educators, building not just athletes, but leaders and learners.

It’s not about coaching harder. It’s about coaching smarter—with empathy, structure, and strategy.
