This first episode is with somebody I know well... Rus Bradburd is a American basketball coach who has worked with some legendary NCAA coaches like Don Haskins and Lou Henson throughout his time as an assistant coach and recruiter in UTEP and New Mexico State. 

Years later, he travelled to Ireland to coach the Tralee Tigers and learn to play the fiddle, while writing a book.

Here, he shares with me some of the great coaching lessons, experiences and anecdotes he picked up along the way that should prove informative for coaches out there, no matter your sport.

Also, I've set up this podcast with a dual purpose in mind, firstly to provide some thoughtful debate for coaches, but I've also linked up with Temple Street Children's Hospital in Dublin, to try and help raise even a small amount of much needed money for them.

Covid 19 continues to have a hugely negative impact on their ability to raise funds in the ways they normally do, so if you found some value in the podcast, it would be great if you could donate anything, no matter how small to Temple Street Children's Foundation through the link here: https://bit.ly/39857sS
