Coach and Coordinator Podcast

Defeating the Peter Principle – How to Rise Without Falling


Listen Later

The Peter Principle is brutally simple: people get promoted to their level of incompetence. In coaching, that means the great position coach becomes an overwhelmed coordinator, and the star coordinator becomes a struggling head coach.

In this episode, Keith Grabowski breaks down exactly where the trip-ups happen at every level and—most importantly—shows you how to prepare now so the next promotion doesn’t become your level of incompetence. You’ll hear real-world examples from Ohio HS Hall of Famer Thom McDaniels, Caleb Collins (Detroit Lions), and Tom Perkovich (U. Albany), plus a clear roadmap to build the skills for the rung above you while dominating your current role.

This episode is presented by Modern Football Technology.
