In this episode I interview coach John Hughs about how he as been able to develop mental tough, defensive minded players during his coaching career.    Specifically, we talk about his success leading Deer Creek Mackinaw to a 2A Super Sectional with a group of especially tough group of players.   His passion for the game is only surpassed by his passion for his players, and this is a big reason for his success.
