Dugout Therapy – Details, episodes & analysis

Our 20th episode is one to remember! A fantastic episode with the head coach from Florida Atlantic University, John McCormack. John provides just phenomenal insight into the ins and outs of recruiting at the collegiate level and how that bleeds your culture. No matter what level you coach the discussion around culture can benefit any program at any age. Unlike a lot of our guests, John never thought he would be a baseball coach, but fell in love with the recruiting and team management side of the game. Over 131 players under his coaching in the last 30 years have been drafted and he's led the team to 5 championships, numerous NCAA tournament runs, and a No. 12 ranking in 2015. There is a ton to learn here about how you can get the right kids for your team and coaches that can be molded to fit the culture you are building.

The experience and knowledge discussed by Stu in this episode spills out from minute 1 to minute 45. If you want to be an influential person or mentor to your players or the kids you coach start today. Start by listening to this episode and understanding how the game is changing and what our role is as coaches to help get the best out of our players not just on the field but off.
