Build Great Teams Using These Steps - Ben Herring on Coaching, Parenting & Culture

In this conversation, I sit down with former professional player and coach Ben Herring to explore what coaching is really about.

We go far beyond tactics and dive into the deeper side of coaching — culture, parenting, communication, and the responsibility coaches have to grow great people, not just better players.

Ben shares powerful insights from his experiences coaching around the world, including Japan, and explains why most coaches are focusing on the wrong things.

This is a must-watch for any coach, parent, or player who wants to make a real impact.
