    “Don’t Waste Your Pain”: Jason Kuhn on the Yips, the SEAL Teams & a Tactical Approach to Failure

    Jason Kuhn was a Division 1 pitcher at MTSU on the verge of professional baseball when he woke up one morning and couldn’t throw a strike. Six wild pitches in a single inning later, his baseball career was over. So he became a Navy SEAL. In Episode 3 of Lessons From The Sidelines, Coach Greg Brown sits down with Jason — decorated SEAL operator and sniper, founder of Stonewall Solutions, and the performance coach who helped Tyler Matzek beat the yips and win a World Series — for a tactical conversation about identity, failure, and what it actually takes to perform under pressure. Jason takes the systems forged in BUD/S, Hell Week, and combat and translates them into a framework usable by anyone who competes — in sport, in business, or in their own head. In this episode: •  Why combat eliminates the clutter — and why the principles that win in war are the same ones that win anywhere else •  The yips story: career-ending injury that became his life’s work •  Why your identity can’t be your outcome — and what to anchor it to instead •  The tactical approach to failure: controllable corrections, uncontrollable workarounds, and the part high achievers skip •  The Three Defeaters: distraction, others’ beliefs, and failure •  Why team-first isn’t self-sacrifice — it’s self-interest done right •  When decentralized leadership works (and when it absolutely doesn’t) •  Why he hates the phrase “surrender the outcome” •  And the one lesson he’d give from the sideline This one will reach the high achievers, the coaches, the operators, and the parents trying to raise kids who can compete without losing themselves.

    “Love Your Players”: Brendan Suhr on Courage, the Three Cs & 50 Years on the Sideline

    What does it look like when somebody who coached Michael Jordan, Isaiah Thomas, and Joe Dumars — and won back-to-back titles with the Detroit Pistons “Bad Boys” — finishes a 50-year career and says the most important thing in coaching is love? Brendan Suhr joins Coach Greg Brown for Episode 2 of Lessons From The Sidelines. Brendan was Chuck Daly’s right hand on two championship Pistons teams and the 1992 Dream Team, learned under Hubie Brown and Lenny Wilkens, and now runs Coaching U — a global coaching, leadership, and performance company reaching 140+ countries. He’s unfiltered, opinionated, and genuinely funny about what it actually takes to lead — in a locker room, a boardroom, or anywhere else.  In this episode: •  Why courage is the #1 leadership trait — and why most people in leadership positions don’t have it •  The three Cs: Competence, Credibility, Connection — how players (and employees) actually decide to follow you •  Lead up, lead sideways, lead down — the assistant coach’s framework for leading from any seat •  Why championship teams keep their staffs small (the Pistons won with three coaches; the modern NBA has fourteen) •  Define roles, not just systems — what Dennis Rodman and Ben Wallace taught him •  Why your best people are business partners, not employees •  The Chuck Daly story about Joe Dumars that he never forgot — and the one lesson he’d give every coach Whether you’re running a team, building a business, or sitting one chair away from the top, Brendan’s got something for you.

    Leading From the Middle: Bob Starkey on Hard Conversations, the Process & Why Failure Is Your Best Friend

    What does it take to lead when you’re not the one in charge? In the debut episode of Lessons From The Sidelines, Coach Greg Brown sits down with Bob Starkey — associate head coach for LSU women’s basketball and one of the most respected lifelong assistants in the game — for a candid conversation about leading from the middle. Over four-plus decades alongside Hall of Famers like Dale Brown, Sue Gunter, and Kim Mulkey, Bob has built a career on a rare idea: that the best leaders aren’t always the ones with their name on the door. He and Greg get into the hard conversations most leaders avoid, why he attaches his emotions to the process instead of the result, how he builds a staff the way he’d recruit a team, and the difference between coaching a team and running a program.
