Hey, I'm Paul Rabel. Welcome to my podcast.

Arguably the greatest coach in all of sports.

His accolades are endless, but he won't spend much time talking about them.

Generally, he doesn't spend much time with the media outside

of his obligatory press conferences. Coach Bellachik ranks process, execution,

and culture first. Example, the NFL gets huge ratings every year at their college draft.

And every year, the Patriots pick up undrafted players, free agents, former college lacrosse

players, and sometimes Popeye's employees.

How does he create this winning formula?

Well, his process of player selection, competitive analysis, and game day execution, I think apply to both sports and business.

Let's find out more.

So you and I have known each other for over a decade now and I had the opportunity because of your background

growing up playing football and lacrosse to ask Coach Petro when you came to a

practice who was my college coach at a time to say like, hey, can I sit down with

Coach Bellachik and ask him about what my goals were, like learning about the captains on the team, learning about the culture, and like how to work hard, how to be great.

And you were so gracious to like sit down and spend that time with me.

And then, you know, fast forward a few years later when I graduated

and I grew up in the DC area and you send me a bunch of Patriot stuff never

forget that and I'm one of your biggest supporters.

And I've always been like so impressed by how you think about sports and how you think about business and even when I was sitting outside

Is a really busy time of the year every every I guess all seasons are really busy in the NFL

But you're basically you're basically like a CEO.
