090. CARE, TEACH, WIN with Skip Johnson

In this podcast, we have Skip Johnson on. Skip is in his 5th season as the head coach at OU, and before that, he was at Texas for ten years with the great Auggie Garrido. Before that, he was at Navarro Junior College for 16 years where he is also in the Hall of Fame. He’s coaches 7 first rounders and has future hall of famers that he has worked with.

089. It's about BELIEVE IN, not "buy-in" - FB LIVE Call #4

If you have some kids that are all in, some on the fence, and some completely out, then this is the podcast for you. If it seems like there’s that core group that never misses a workout and then there’s another core group that shows up inconsistently, and you don’t know why, then this podcast is for you. It’s not only about the kids though, maybe it’s getting the rest of your coaching staff or your athletic department on board. Maybe it’s your family right now. Maybe it’s your kids teammates.

If you have ever told your team, “I need you guys to buy in” or If you’ve ever told a kid, “You’re just not bought in,” then this podcast is definitely for you. I’ve heard a lot of coaches ask, “How do I get my players to buy-in?” and well… it’s not about “buy-in,” it’s about BELIEVE IN.
