Straight Lines | Keith Madison: Coaching With Purpose, Culture, and Conviction
On this episode of Straight Lines, host Tim Neiman sits down with legendary coach Keith Madison, former Head Coach at the University of Kentucky, ABCA Hall of Famer, author, and longtime leader in the game of baseball. Hired at just 26 years old, Keith built Kentucky into a nationally respected program while impacting generations of players far beyond the win column.
In a wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation, Keith and Tim explore what truly matters in coaching and leadership — faith, culture, adversity, and loving the people you lead.
Key topics include:
Why coaching is about players, not just the game
The moment Keith realized relationships matter more than wins
Building culture through non-negotiables like effort, coachability, and competitiveness
Leadership lessons from the SEC, ABCA, and international baseball missions
The challenges and realities of youth and travel baseball today
Why belief, trust, and humility shape lasting success
This episode is a masterclass in leadership, legacy, and staying grounded in your purpose — on the field and in life.
