Summary
Episode 467
* Interview recorded prior to coronavirus outbreak.
Brad Frost is the head coach of the University of Minnesota's women's ice hockey team. He has led the Lady Golden Gophers to four NCAA championships, seven Frozen Four appearances, and coming into the 2019-2020 season, he had a career coaching record of 373 wins to just 65 losses with 31 ties.
Raised in Burlington, Ontario, Brad played forward on the Bethel University hockey team and served as team captain for two years. After graduation, he was an assistant coach for the Eagan (Minnesota) High School girls' team and then for the Bethel University men's team. In June 2001, he joined the coaching staff at the University of Minnesota as an assistant to Laura Halldorson. While working as an assistant coach, Minnesota won the NCAA Championships in 2004 and 2005.
In 2007, he became the head coach for Minnesota and won NCAA titles in 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016. That title in 2012-13 featured a team that went undefeated, 41-0-0 and a winning streak of 62 consecutive wins from February 2012 to November 2013.
On this episode of the podcast, we talk to Brad about the cold winters in Minnesota, his four values, what true success is, how he maintains a standard of excellence at Minnesota, where he came to faith in Christ, and how he continues to seek others for teaching and discipleship.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. This is Jason Romano from Sports Spectrum. I just wanted to share with you real quick before we get |
| 0:06.0 | to our interview today on the podcast that today's show with Brad Frost was pre-recorded before the |
| 0:13.2 | coronavirus outbreak. And obviously so much has taken place just in the past few days. And it's sort of an |
| 0:18.6 | ongoing story that doesn't seem like it's going away for a while. |
| 0:22.1 | But we still want to bring to you these interviews that we've taped before this coronavirus |
| 0:27.0 | outbreak. We have a ton of interviews, a good 15, 20 or so that were recorded before and have |
| 0:33.5 | not been released yet. And so we have those planned and continue to plan to release those to |
| 0:38.6 | you. But just know that these interviews would obviously be different if we had talked to a guy like |
| 0:44.0 | Brad Frost, who's our guest today on the show after the coronavirus outbreak. But we talked to him |
| 0:50.7 | before. And I still think it's a really good interview, a look inside a coach's |
| 0:54.9 | life and living out his faith as a coach with a lot of success at the University of Minnesota. |
| 1:01.0 | But just know, as you're listening, that these were all taped before the coronavirus outbreak. |
| 1:06.5 | Obviously, all of us here at Sports Spectrum are continuing to pray, continuing to trust God |
| 1:11.4 | in knowing that he has all control and that this is not a surprise to him. And we trust and put our |
| 1:18.7 | trust in faith in him and him alone and praying for all those that are affected by the virus |
| 1:24.7 | and the outbreak and just believing that God can make a way when there doesn't seem |
| 1:29.7 | to be a way. So we put our trust in him. We thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy this |
| 1:34.5 | conversation with Brad Frost here on Sports Spectrum, the Sports and Faith podcast that brings Jesus back into the conversation. |
| 1:55.8 | Here's your host, Jason Romano. |
| 1:58.6 | This episode of Sports Spectrum's podcast is brought to you by the International Justice |
| 2:03.7 | Mission, IJM, helping to protect more than 150 million people from violence worldwide |
| 2:10.6 | and ending slavery in our lifetime. |
