In this episode Morehead State University Baseball Coach Mik Aoki and Brian Cain have a Q&A session with our listeners about transformational vs. transactional coaching, building culture and how to give those you lead the best chance for success as people, students and players.

With a pedigree encompassing more than 450 collegiate wins and more than 50 draft picks by Major League organizations, Mik Aoki is now in his third year as head baseball coach at Morehead State.  Aoki (A-Oh-key) led the baseball program at Notre Dame for nine seasons after serving as the head coach at Boston College for four campaigns. 

He also held the head coaching spot at Columbia. Forty of his players over his time as a head coach have been named all-conference.  Aoki piloted the Irish to 248 wins while seeing 26 of his student-athletes drafted into MLB organizations, including a first-round pick. Four of his players went on to stints with Major League teams, including current Notre Dame alums Caven Biggio (Toronto) and Trey Mancini (Baltimore).
