On this episode of Hansen Ratings D3 Coach and Coordinators of the Week, presented by Tully, hosts Logan and John bring together three powerful conversations that highlight leadership, strategy, and personal development across Division III football.

First, Delaware Valley OC Mike Isgro shares insights into the art of offensive strategy, emphasizing adaptability in play calling, red zone efficiency, and the importance of decision-making in creating consistent scoring opportunities.

Next, Bethel HC/DC Mike McElroy dives into a coaching philosophy centered on cultivating potential in young athletes. He discusses how the right environment or “soil” - helps players and individuals grow stronger, more resilient, and better prepared to succeed both on and off the field.

Finally, Hope College HC Peter Stuursma explores the human side of coaching through weekly player wellness surveys and open communication. He reflects on the responsibility coaches have to support athletes beyond the game - helping them navigate challenges and build habits that serve them throughout life.

This episode captures what makes Division III football special: growth-minded coaches, programs rooted in care and accountability, and a shared commitment to developing great players and even better people.
