Coach Kristen Dowling has gone through it all as a young college coach. And in this episode, she shares her basketball coaching journey - and her lessons learned - for everyone in our College Recruiting Weekly audience.
She started as a rising assistant coach, and then got her dream job as a head coach at a Division I program. After four years, she was fired. It crushed her. But she returned to coaching, and came back to win a championship.
What did she learn through those experiences?
How did her recruiting change along the way?
And, what is her advice for coaches who go through the same type of professional journey she has gone through?
All that and more in today's edition.
