In this episode, we’re joined by JC Deacon, Head Coach of the University of Florida Men’s Golf Team, to talk about leadership, fatherhood, and what it takes to build champions.

JC shares his journey from growing up in Toronto to coaching at the highest level of collegiate golf, including winning a national championship and developing elite athletes. But beyond the wins, this conversation dives into the mindset behind success—focusing on attitude, work ethic, and building strong character.

We talk about the role of parents in youth sports, how pressure impacts young athletes, and why separating identity from performance is critical for mental health. JC also reflects on the lessons his father taught him, how those shaped his career, and what legacy means as both a coach and a dad.

A powerful episode on discipline, perspective, and raising the next generation the right way.
