Coaching U Podcast with Coach Brendan Suhr

Ep. 301 Jon Gordon, The Seven Commitments of a Great Team


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, Coach Brendan Suhr is joined by bestselling author and leadership expert Jon Gordon to discuss his newest book, The Seven Commitments of a Great Team. Known for his work with top coaches and programs across all levels, Jon shares the inspiration behind the book, including personal stories from his playing days at Cornell and how the values of his late coach Richie Moran helped shape the framework. Gordon explains how each of the seven commitments can serve as a roadmap for coaches to intentionally build trust, connection, and long-term buy-in with their team—especially in today’s climate of short-term rosters and individual focus.

Jon also gives listeners an inside look at his first-ever Training Camp event, where championship coaches like Billy Donovan, Sean McVay, and Buzz Williams came together to learn, grow, and share with other coaches and leaders. He and Coach Brendan Suhr also explore the traits that separate transformational coaches from transactional ones, why love and accountability must go hand in hand, and how to foster an environment where players value one another and commit to something bigger than themselves.
