This week, we’re joined by Coach Randy Simkins, the head softball coach at Utah Tech University. Coach Simkins is the only college coach in Utah history to lead teams at the JUCO, DII, and DI levels — all from the same office. But his impact goes far beyond wins and titles.
In this episode, Coach Simkins shares wisdom from decades of experience in coaching and recruiting. We talk about what it really means to “compete without contempt,” how women’s sports are evolving, why multi-sport athletes thrive, and what college coaches are actually looking for in today’s high-pressure recruiting environment.
Highlights from the episode:
This is a powerful listen for parents, coaches, and athletes who want to rise above the noise and focus on what really matters.
