#338 A Conversation with the 2023 NCAA Champion University of Notre Dame Men's Lacrosse Staff

In this week's coaching masterclass, John and Jerry sit down with the coaching staff from the University of Notre Dame's 2023 NCAA Champion Mens lacrosse team. Head Coach Kevin Corrigan just completed his 35th season at the helm of the Fighting Irish, and has amassed over 300 wins, 25 NCAA Tournament Appearances, reached 5 Final Fours, and won a combined 22 regular season and conference tournament championships. He is joined on the podcast by assistant coaches Chris Wojcik (former Harvard men's Head Coach, 3 years at UND), Ryan Wellnar (long time US Naval Academy Asst. Coach) and Volunteer Assistant Ryder Garnsey, a former UND player under Corrigan.

The conversation is not at all about Xs and Os, but a deep dive into the intentional relationship and culture building, values, and higher purpose than winning that the Fighting Irish epitomize year after year. You will see that the program is a truly special place, and get a deep dive into what transformational coaching looks like in a championship program.
