    The Important Of TABC | Kelly Savoy

With more than 30 years in coaching and nearly 400 career wins, Coach Savoy has built his career around relationships, character, consistency, and developing programs that are bigger than basketball. In this episode, Coach Savoy shares why great coaching starts with building relationships—not only with players, but with parents, assistant coaches, junior high coaches, and the entire school community. He discusses why younger coaches must understand that being a great basketball coach also means being a great teacher and teammate within their school. Coach Savoy also breaks down his philosophy on culture and the Montgomery program's motto: “Character Wins Championships.” He explains why every player may have a different role while still having the same value, why he grades the energy of his bench, and how great cultures eventually become player-led.

    Building Through Losing Seasons | Andy Heim

    Andy Heim’s coaching journey is a powerful reminder that building a championship program takes time. In Episode 317 of the JAMODI Podcast, Belmont High School girls basketball coach Andy Heim shares the story of going from an early winless season to eventually winning an Indiana state championship. Coach Heim opens up about the mistakes he made early in his career, how his coaching philosophy evolved, and why relationships, adaptability, player leadership, and creating an enjoyable experience became essential pieces of Belmont’s culture. We discuss how he learned to build his system around his players instead of forcing players into a system, why great players can become culture catalysts, how Belmont uses small “families” to strengthen relationships throughout the program, and why making basketball fun doesn't mean lowering your standards. Coach Heim also shares practical ideas coaches can use immediately—from player goal-setting and team dinners to music at practice, competitive games, leadership opportunities, and finding ways to make every player feel valued. In this episode: Going from a winless season to a state championship Building culture when the wins aren't coming Learning from mistakes as a young head coach Why Andy stopped forcing players into his system Making practice competitive and enjoyable Creating Belmont's basketball “families” Developing player-led accountability Helping every player feel valued Balancing varsity privileges with whole-program connection Building relationships beyond basketball Maintaining confidence during losing seasons The importance of supportive administrators Adapting offense to your personnel Creating player ownership Why culture eventually begins to sustain itself JAMODI stands for Just A Matter Of Doing It—conversations with coaches about culture, leadership, growth, and the lessons learned along the journey. 🎧|🎥  JAMODI PODCAST 💪 Powered by:  Ballogy | Sideline Interactive | Grip Spritz | Scoreboard Media 🚨 Use promo code “JAMODI” for 10% off your Grip Spritz order
