Welcome to Courtside Culture on the Hoop Heads Podcast Network!

Host Dave Grendzynski is a firm believer in positive psychology, especially when it comes to building a high school basketball program. By providing a positive pathway for your players and parents, you’ll cultivate a good team culture and the wins will take care of themselves.

On the “Courtside Culture Podcast,” we’ll talk to coaches, psychologists, authors, and players about how the right mindset causes everything else to fall into place—especially in high school. The psyche of 15-, 16-, and 17-year-old kids are very fragile and the approach a coach takes means everything.

If you can learn to focus on positive emotions and build strengths in your players, instead of repairing the bad, you’ll find a role for everyone, win games, and cultivate a good team culture at the same time.
