Brady Welsh on Ego, Humility, and Communication as a Strength Coach

If you were a basketball strength coach, what do you think you could learn working for a coach with NBA experience like Aaron McKie?

Or what about a guy like Matt Painter, with his 19 seasons at Purdue?

Or what about the one and only John Calipari? A guy who has had tremendous amount of success at numerous schools?

Well today’s guest can give us the inside scoop – because he’s worked for all of them!

Brady Welsh is a professional strength coach who has worked in some of the biggest college basketball environments on the planet, and today, he’s going to share with you his keys to success!

 

I truly believe that ego can be the biggest enemy of the strength coach, and that’s where humility has to come in.
