What does it actually take to make it in the coaching world? Coach Grant Leonard is pulling back the curtain and holding NOTHING back.

From working multiple jobs just to stay in the game, to grinding through the camp circuit building relationships one summer at a time, to standing on the sideline of the NCAA Tournament for the FIRST TIME in Queens University history , this is the story nobody tells you about.

Coach Leonard takes us through every twist and turn of his 20-year journey. The fork in the road moment where he had to decide between going home or keep fighting. The lessons learned coaching at the lower levels , finding his coaching voice, learning to recruit, and developing players from the ground up. The chaos behind the clipboard that only coaches will truly understand. And yes, we talk about the sweaters. 😂

This isn't just a basketball story. This is a story about determination, sacrifice, and what happens when you refuse to quit on your dream.

Whether you're a coach grinding at the lower levels, an aspiring coach wondering if it's worth it, or just a fan who loves the game , this episode is for YOU.

New episodes of Life on the Road , A Coach's Journey with Coach Alphonza Kee and Coach Scott Bollwage drop every Thursday.
