We are fortunate to have Doug Novak on this episode of the podcast.

Novak's contributions to the game are notable. Coaches around the world have benefited from his sharing of the game through various clinics and his website, CoachDougNovak.com.

This episode was recorded in-person after Novak completed a two-day clinic with players from Lake City and Sandpoint high schools.
