Story of a Turnaround: The Long Game of Leadership


Listen Later

In this episode, John McMahon and John Kaplan introduce their guest, Scot Loeffler, who has remarkably transformed the football program at Bowling Green State University (BGSU). John Kaplan shares his enthusiasm for Scot's drastic improvements in the BGSU football program, which ranked near last nationally before Scot's arrival. Through candid discussions, Scot outlines the challenges and strategies of rebuilding a struggling team, emphasizing the importance of hiring the right staff, instilling a solid culture, and focusing on daily championship habits. Scot credits his success to lessons learned from legendary coaches like Lloyd Carr, Urban Meyer, and Frank Beamer, and the inherent traits of resilience and relentless preparation observed in players like Tom Brady and Tim Tebow. The conversation delves into the critical roles of leadership, accountability, and recruitment in building a winning team and highlights the parallels between coaching athletes and leading sales teams
