COACHES LISTEN PLEASE

After running D1 in a program where everyone was constantly injured and no one was having fun…I’ve first hand scene the value of good coaching and grounded wisdom. This podcast is the GOLD Standard for what coaches should strive for. Following Steve and his colleagues I’ve learned so much and developed so much as an athlete. Thanks for the knowledge and inspiration!
