In episode #298, we're joined by Bethany Brausen, Head Coach of the University of St. Thomas Women's program.
Brausen just completed her first season with St. Thomas after taking over as interim Head Coach in November and being name full-time coach just a few months later.
She is also in the process of completing her PhD in Organizational Leadership Policy & Development, and as you’re about to hear, her education in leadership and organizational development is clearly woven into how she’s building the Tomies program.
Following her playing career that included captaining the University of Minnesota, she joined Brad Frost’s staff with the Gophers as an Assistant Coach for 5 seasons, before moving across town to St. Thomas.
Brausen will be joining us as a speaker at the upcoming IIHF Coaching Symposium, hosted in Stockholm during the Men’s World Championship. Stay tuned for that presentation on The Coaches Site!
Listen she shares why players need to create a self-governing culture, what we get wrong about real leadership, and the importance of understanding that every person has their own story.
