Ben Morgan on Building a Leadership Lab by Leveraging 'Supported Autonomy' Pt. 2

Hello listeners, and welcome to The Captain’s Coach Podcast. I am your host, Luke Poulos. Today’s guest is another from the Rugby scene in Richmond, VA and is a friend of my previous guests Matt Robinette and Chris Porter so if you haven’t listened to that episode please go back after you finish this one with Ben Morgan. Ben has had an awesome career around all sports coaching Rugby most recently for VCU and the Richmond Lions Club. He says he’s on sabbatical due to a new-born but I am guessing he is still extremely involved. Ben has also coached all around and coached baseball as well and to add to all that experience, Ben is a proud Veteran of the Marine Corps and has an awesome example of one of his favorite sports leadership stories from his time in the Marines. In this episode you will hear how Ben approaches leadership on his team, some creative ways to divide your team and provide more leadership opportunities to those who may not be Captains, why saying and doing less is more, and my personal favorite definition of leadership so far on this podcast. Also if you have not picked up your copy of The Captain’s Playbook by our one and only founder and CEO, Ben Smith, please do so today-go to Amazon type in the title and Ben’s name and enjoy because that is an endless resource and amazing tool for athletes and coaches alike. But without further ado, here is Ben Morgan.
