In this episode, Coach Brendan Suhr sits down with Alan Stein Jr. to talk coaching, performance, and his new book, Next Play.

The two trace the origins of the “next play” mindset and discuss how Alan turned it into a practical approach for moving on from mistakes, simplifying success, and leading with authenticity—on the court and beyond.

Alan also previews what’s inside the book: 34 strategies and 35 hands-on exercises, a simple framework for letting go and moving forward fast, and tools to elevate team and individual performance, productivity, accountability, and culture. The book applies across business, sports, and life.

All that and more on episode 313 of the Coaching U Podcast presented by Noah Basketball.
