How to Get Students Interested (and Keep Them Showing Up) - Ep. 2

Описание: Students don’t stop showing up because they’re lazy. They stop showing up when the program stops meaning something.

In Episode 2 of the Broadcast Ops Playbook, Taylor Siebert and Nathan “Hoosier” Ladehoff dig into one of the most common frustrations in student-led broadcast programs:

Students start strong… then fade.
Teachers end up chasing, covering, and carrying the load.

This episode reframes the problem.
It’s not motivation. Its meaning, ownership, and culture.

You’ll hear real examples from classrooms and gyms, lessons learned from veteran teachers, and insights from programs that grew because students owned their roles instead of just helping when asked.

In this episode, we cover:
Why students lose commitment over time
How teachers accidentally create dependency
Why incentives work short-term but fail long-term
How ownership and clear roles change everything
Why culture — not guilt — makes commitment stick
How communication and team energy keep students coming back

If you’re tired of begging students to care — or wondering why your program still feels fragile even when kids show up — this episode will help you reset expectations and rebuild buy-in the right way.
