  • How to Lead & Empower as a Elite Coach | Achieving Championship Leadership

    In this episode of Championship Mindset, Coaches Russ Stoner and Kade Lemke delve into the nitty-gritty of starting from scratch in coaching. From losing a coaching staff, facilities, and the team itself, they discuss the crucial aspects of rebuilding from ground zero. Highlighting the significance of leadership, finding the right staff, and prioritizing values over skill sets, they share personal experiences and key insights into developing a successful coaching team and program.


    Key Takeaways:

    • The Value of Leadership: Starting from zero necessitates a cohesive coaching team. Finding individuals who prioritize player development, teamwork, and shared values over merely technical expertise is crucial.
