Episode 159: Coaching & Recruiting Lessons From Ted Lasso

If you've watched it, and you're a college coach, you probably love Ted Lasso. The AppleTV series was a huge hit, mainly because of its cast of characters lead by actor Jason Sudekis' portrayal of an American football coach being hired by an English soccer team to be their new leader. Hilarity - along with some drama, self-discovery, and plenty of mishaps - ensues. But for college coaches, are there lessons to be learned? Former college coach and current author and speaker John "Coach Bru" Brubaker returns to talk about what those lessons are following the release of his new book, "The Lasso Way" (which belongs in every college coach's library, in our opinion). To order the book, visit https://coachbru.com/product/the-lasso-way/ Or, buy it on Amazon or at your favorite bookseller. Thanks for listening, Coach! Remember to tell 50 fellow coaches about the podcast, and rate and review our show.
