Inside the Episode
What a great conversation we had this week with the Head Coach of Snow College MBB, Andrew May! Coach May is in his first year at the helm of one of the best Junior College programs in Utah, and we detailed his learnings and experiences since taking over the job. The episode is packed with great nuggets on:
- First Year Head Coaching Learnings: As we discuss in the episode, Coach May kept a journal of his thoughts, learnings, and mistakes in being a Head Coach for the first time. We spent the first portion of the podcast diving into some of the major takeaways he had this year including culture building, stress management, and much more.
- Mid-Season Scheme Changes: Within our conversation about Coach May’s first season we discussed how he changed some fundamentals of their offensive schemes, as well as the reasons behind it. The insights in this section about how a coach can make changes specific to their team is worth the listen.
- Teaching Spacing: During “Start, Sub, or Sit?!” we discussed Coach May’s teaching points in helping his players understand spacing. In it we detail 5 v. 4 drills and why he loves to use them as within his practices.
