In this episode we are joined by Coach Johnathan Edwards. Coach Edwards is currently the head coach at Walnut Grove Christian Academy. We learn about Coach Edwards’ inspiration behind wanting to be a coach, playing against Anthony Davis in college, learning from successful D1 coaches, and how being injured allowed him to learn the game from a different perspective.
We also talk to Coach Edwards about his role as a certified recruiting coach. He shares with us about how playing college sports is really a full-time job, why so many kids are transferring these days, and some of the most underrated talent producing areas of the country. We also get into why most people in life avoid doing hard things, including hard coaching and accountability.
Finally, in today’s “explain that tweet” segment, we dive into how Coach Edwards learned he can’t save every kid, why adults are ruining youth sports, and the changes he would make to the grassroots model in youth basketball.
