Today we have an awesome discussion on leadership with Edge Leadership Academy’s David Kitchen. After a quick rundown of his coaching career we get right into what were the driving factors behind him starting the Edge Leadership Academy. Dave then dives into what are some of these causes to the fake confusion with the terms leadership and culture, and how we can look better at them as statements and experiences. David then shares with us how he looks at leadership, and how his time as a strength coach impacted his idea of evaluations and progressions within training leadership.

“How quickly and willingly are you going to be able to adapt to what is going on?”
“We need to be proactive in order to be reactive.”
“If you’re willing to do what the game demands, it may be something you’ve never done before, but to do what you’ve never done before in a time we’ve never experienced before, really should be the status quo.”

The first couple weeks and road trip of this college basketball season were some fantastic learning experiences. In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I share two lessons that I took away from this trip, and how a change in mindset early on in the pandemic has been helpful in preparing me for the fluidness of the situations at hand.

Today we are joined by Candice Walls to discuss the transition from college to high school coaching. After a quick run down of how she got to the point to make the decision to move to Denver she dives into how the “coaching identity” was really hard to get over. She then shares with us how this transition is going, things she misses form her staff at U of L, and what she’s really excited about at this new position. There are unique challenges to every position, and Candice and I get to talk about many of those, and how there are pro and cons to working with younger athletes that have improved how both of us teach. We get into how communication has changes, especially in this COVID world, how quickly kids get “glassy eyed” and they “zoom out” when you’re going over things, and how being quick, to the point, and having them repeat it has been a great change.

In this weeks My Thoughts Monday I share my thoughts on this recent uptick in Twitter wars over coaches questioning some traditional “methods” when it comes to football. These recent battles are over the implementation and utilization of mat drills, 300 yard shuttles, and 110’s. In each of these, if there is a practical reason behind the why then I’m all for it. Where I do see a problem is the lack of communicating the why’s to these and it just being, as was said on Twitter “give us our game back.” It’s impossible for us to grow and evolve if we do not discuss our reasoning, look at research, and have conversations about those two to help us ALL make better decisions and help push ourselves forward. All these internet fights are doing, in reality, is holding us, as a profession, back and keeping us from having a seat at the table.

Episode 506: Episode 265-Eric Potter- Making It To Complicated Leads To Failure Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

“We don’t have to guard the weight room the whole day, you should spend time working yourself.”
“If we want a certain thing, we have to set ourselves up for success. So, if you want a certain guy to jump higher he needs to jump more. If you want a certain guy to shoot better he needs to shoot more. And trying to make it more complex than it actually needs to be is just setting everyone up for failure.”

In this week’s episode of The Podcast I get the opportunity to talk about taking care of ourselves off the court and using those lessons to connect with athletes, with ODU’s Eric Potter. After a quick run-down of how Eric got down to Norfolk we get into what financial literacy is to him, why it’s important, and how we both got into looking into this subject. This leads us into the discussion of being more time efficient and looking at doing better with the time we have and scheduling for what we really do, not just guarding the weight room. We finish off talking about how important it is to keep things simple and moving towards the specific goals of the moment both in training and in life.
