On today’s episode; I’m sharing a conversation I had with Tom Ryan. Head Coach of the Ohio State Wrestling program and a powerhouse on the collegiate stage. He’s won plenty wherever he’s been, yet regardless of the multitude of championships he’s won, he ensures that that doesn’t define him. Tom is a phenomenal leader and shared some incredible wisdom with me and I’m grateful for it. After hearing this conversation you’ll see why so many people want to follow and learn from him. In this discussion we talk about:

·      How choosing to suffer has led him on the path that he’s on now.

·      How he found wrestling and then went on to fall in love with it.

·      The impact an Olympic gold medalist had on him

·      The three ways his wrestlers are being built to lead.

·      His powerful new book he wrote that is being released this month.

On today’s episode; I’m interviewing Ryan Odom. Head Coach of the UMBC Men’s Basketball program. The program every sports fan will remember as the first 16 seed to win their matchup over a 1 seed in an NCAA tournament. Ryan then earned the 2018 Hugh Durham Award, an award given to the nation’s top Mid-Major coach. Coach Odom has truly reinvigorated the basketball program at UMBC and he graciously illustrates just how he did that.  In this discussion we dive into- How having a father who also coached in college shaped him, how they laid the groundwork in establishing a winning culture, empowering his players to teach one another, the importance of adapting his methods and the joys and challenges that came from their big upset win.
