Welcome to the Hardwood Hustle podcast where we know and believe in the value of a coach.

We're here to educate, empower, and encourage you to lead like never before.

In today's episode, Adam, T.J. and Sam Allen discussed the importance of every staff member

and player being on the same page when it comes to building a world-class team culture.

The episode stems from a recent lead-em-up session where a head coach participating recognized

one of their assistant coaches who wasn't

fully engaged in the session and the absolute necessity it is to get them on board for their team

to reach their full potential.

The episode also covers the importance of being a good follower and the negative impact

that comes from coaches being unwilling to do the things that they ask their players to do.

We hope you enjoy this episode now to Adam, T.J. and Sam.

staff was up front and the head coach, first year head coach, taking over a program. I learned

that later. He wanted his whole staff to sit up front

there in the auditorium just to kind of be front and center and front of class type thought

process there. Well, if anyone's familiar to lead them up, we've got this little clapping
