This week on The Coaches Co-Op, Coach P sits down with Coach Ja'lee “Flo” Floyd — a faith-driven leader, former college hooper, and rising star in Texas high school basketball.

From being too good for Upward as a kid, to tearing TWO ACLs, to rebuilding Brownfield Girls Basketball into a gold-ball contender — Coach Flo breaks down her leadership blueprint with authenticity, humor, and heart.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How to blend faith + dawg mentality in coaching

• Why standards build culture (and how she cut her top player Day 1)

• How women can thrive as coaches, moms, and mentors

• Why every young coach needs mentorship & clinics

• How to rebound from adversity — physically and mentally

• What coaching as discipleship really looks like

If you're a coach, parent, or leader, this episode will challenge you, inspire you, and remind you why leadership matters.
