John Baines on Toughness, Truth & Building Resilient Teams | Significant Coaching Podcast | Part I

Описание: On the latest edition of the Significant Coaching Podcast, a presentation of the coachmattrogers YouTube channel, available audio-only everywhere you get your favorite podcasts, I’m your host, Matt Rogers.

This week I’m joined by John Baines, head men's basketball coach at Elmhurst University.

Coach Baines has built one of the most respected Division III basketball programs in the country, leading Elmhurst to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances, conference championships, and a run to the national championship game.

In this conversation we dive deep into:

• Teaching toughness and resilience
• Practice design and player leadership
• Building team culture without overusing the word
• Developing leaders with different personalities
• Why telling players the truth matters
• How great programs build themselves over time

If you care about coaching, leadership, and building strong teams, this is a conversation you’ll want to hear.
