How I Coached This is a leadership and sports podcast about how great coaches, teams, and leaders actually built winning programs—one decision, one system, and one season at a time.

Every championship has a backstory. Every dynasty has turning points. Every great leader has moments they’d coach differently.

This podcast takes you inside the thinking, strategy, and leadership behind elite coaching. Each episode studies legendary coaches, iconic teams, and defining moments from across football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, and beyond, blending sports history, biography, and leadership analysis to answer one simple question:

How did they coach this?

You’ll learn:

• How coaches designed systems and game plans
• How leaders adjusted when pressure changed everything
• How culture was built through daily decisions
• How motivation and psychology shaped performance
• How mistakes became breakthroughs
• How leaders developed talent and future coaches
• How leadership really works behind the scenes

This isn’t a highlight show or a motivational podcast. It’s a story-driven guide to coaching leadership, decision-making, team culture, and understanding how the best leaders in history thought through problems, adapted strategies, and built sustained success.

If you’re interested in leadership, sports leadership, coaching philosophy, team building, organizational leadership, performance psychology, great coaches, and learning how elite leadership decisions are made in real time — this podcast is for you.
