Culture beats X's and O's when you're building a winning program from the ground up. Hunter Todd shares the exact coaching philosophy he's bringing to Forreston - from respect, accountability, and team-first standards to the family atmosphere he wants to create before the first play is ever drawn up.
After receiving his teaching license in Texas, Todd learned how to run a program with freedom, trust, and relentless buy-in. Now, as Forreston's new head girls basketball coach, he's focused on setting a culture that lasts, earning the community's trust, and building something bigger than wins and losses
Todd also opens up about the realities of coaching in two different states, the lessons he brought back from Texas, and why he wants every athlete to feel like they belong in the program from sixth grade on. If you care about coaching, culture, or what it really takes to build a program people rally around, this one is for you.
