Building Champions: Coach Armando Gonzalez on Culture of the Rigby, ID Trojans | Ep 25

Описание: Today we sit down with Coach Armando Gonzalez—head coach for the Rigby Trojans—to unpack the leadership blueprint behind 5 state titles in 7 years. Coach shares the real story: early setbacks, getting fired as a young HC, burnout as an AD in SoCal, and the decision to rebuild in Idaho. We dig into standards, trust, staff alignment with Coach Flowers, and a process-first mindset he calls “surrender the outcome.”
