On this week's episode of Inside the Headset – Presented by CoachComm, we're joined by EJ Barthel, Running Backs Coach at Nebraska.

In this conversation, Coach Barthel reflects on his unique path through the coaching profession, from working in recruiting and player personnel to coaching running backs at the collegiate and NFL levels. He discusses the lessons he learned from legendary coaches, the evolution of recruiting, the development of a personal coaching philosophy, and the importance of embracing challenges throughout a coaching career.

Coach Barthel also shares insights into player development, talent evaluation, building relationships with student-athletes, and Nebraska's commitment to building a physical, productive run game. Additionally, he offers advice for young coaches looking to break into the profession and explains why growth often comes from stepping outside of your comfort zone.
