The Bridging Impact Podcast is committed to sharing insightful wisdom from experienced coaches, sports psychologists, and athletic directors to transform athletes into leaders on and off the court.
Our guest this week, Matthew Jackson, found his passion early on in life and has been playing basketball for as long as he can remember.
Basketball has taught him many valuable lessons in life and allowed him to create a life he loves, centered around the sport. What started as a young boy with a dream of playing basketball and finding success and purpose alongside it has turned into him dedicating his life to changing the world through basketball.
His basketball career has opened numerous doors, allowed him to travel the world, created lifelong friendships, and allowed him to give back. His goal is to help make the same opportunities for others he was given and will enable them to use their passion for the sport to change their lives, just like his.
Thus, Matthew decided to turn his lifelong dream into a reality and launched his non-profit, Basketball and a Dream Foundation, in 2022.
He played basketball at Price High School and helped lead the team to a State Championship in 2005. After graduating, he went on to continue his education and basketball career at Humboldt State and Skyline College, where he majored in Business.
In doing so, he took the fundamentals he learned and found a way to blend his business mentality with a passion for basketball.
After college, Matthew began his coaching career at Revere Middle School and later Palisades High School. He then broadened his basketball career by joining In The Lab as a coach/trainer and Podcast Host.
In the many years since, his relationship with In The Lab has continued to evolve, leading to their partnering with Basketball and a Dream Foundation as their official non-profit organization.
In Spring 2017, he interned for Wasserman and assisted with pre-NBA draft workouts. Matthew went on to coach and mentor the Palisades High Varsity Basketball team as an assistant coach and helped guide them to a City Championship.
His success and relationship with Palisades High inspired him to create a youth basketball program alongside the school in 2019. As the founder and CEO of the Pacific Hoops Youth Basketball Program, he coaches teams of kids aged 12-17.
He prides himself on being a mentor and wants to help create the same opportunities for them that have gotten him to where he is today.

Our guest this week is Alex Sarama, the founder of Transforming Basketball.
Transforming Basketball is a vehicle to share the independent research and practical applications that Alex Sarama has conducted since 2016. Transforming Basketball focuses on using ecological dynamics as a framework to view basketball performance and reconceptualize the role of the coach and basketball practitioner.
An ecological approach underpins the methodologies adopted by Transforming Basketball—the five design principles of a nonlinear pedagogy manifest in applying a constraints-led approach. Rather than viewing skills as techniques or patterns to be acquired and internalized, skill is viewed as an emergent property predicated around the relationship between the player and their environment.
Transforming Basketball exists to help the basketball world move beyond traditional paradigms that have existed for decades. Through many resources, including blogs, podcasts, online course-based learning, live events, and consulting, the basketball world can benefit from evidence-based ideas.

In this week's episode we sit down and talk with Championship Culture Coach Becky Beaulieu.
Becky began her athletic career when she was three years old, playing soccer, track, gymnastics, and fast-pitch softball. When she hit my peak height at 4’11, my destiny was sealed as a competitive gymnast.
She became a two-time National Champion at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. She was a member of four national championship teams and earned seven All-American honors.
She coached at UW-La Crosse for two years before spending 18 years as the mental health liaison and head gymnastics coach for the University of Wisconsin-Stout. At UW-Stout, she helped lead teams to 2nd and 3rd place finishes at the National Championships and coached the first team in school history to a conference championship.
She was fortunate to coach eight individual national champions, 66 All-Americans, and two athletes who qualified and competed at NCAA Division I Regionals.
She also worked as the mental health liaison for athletics, where she counseled and mentored athletes from basketball, track, softball, golf, and more. Additionally, she culture coached and gave leadership talks to Men’s basketball.
She is passionate about serving athletes and enhancing team culture through observations, interventions, and recommendations learned through my 20 years of working in NCAA athletics and time spent as a licensed psychologist.

BriAnna Garza is a professional shooting coach, instructional designer, and owner of Shooters Shoot Training — a mentorship program that focuses on both shot development and thought development.
BriAnna was never the biggest, strongest, or fastest player on any team, so she learned at a very young age to focus her time on developing her vision, IQ, and most importantly—her shot. BriAnna played high school basketball in Kyle, TX, where she led the region in both assists and 3-pointers made. She graduated in 2010 as All-State in basketball and music (percussion).
After high school, BriAnna went on to play college ball on a full scholarship to the NAIA DI, Baker University. After leading her team to an NAIA Sweet 16 her senior season, BriAnna was voted as conference Player of the Year (HAAC), and was named an All-American. BriAnna graduated in 2015 with a BA in Psychology and she still holds women’s basketball records for assists and career points at her Alma Mater.
Following her undergraduate work, BriAnna made it her mission to learn everything she could about what it means to teach shooting effectively.
She continued her education at the University of North Texas, where she served as a Sport Psychology consultant for the NCAA DI basketball teams on campus. In 2017, she graduated with a Master of Science in Sport and Performance Psychology, with an emphasis in Skill Acquisition.
BriAnna now runs her own hybrid, year-round training and mentorship program, Shooters Shoot, where she travels the world teaching providing athletes (youth to WNBA/NBA) with holistic human development and expert shot training.
In the winter of 2023, BriAnna also accepted the role of Chief Operations Officer for Strata Athletics, based in Austin, TX. Strata runs 8-week basketball academies in the Spring and Fall, and was founded on developing athletes in fun, presence, joy, and a culture of error. It is a place where athletes learn to view failure and mistakes as exactly what they are—inevitable steps towards progress.

From an early age, Coach Gutierrez fostered a profound love for athletics, finding inspiration in the lessons, camaraderie, and fitness opportunities they offer, irrespective of one's background.

As he progressed through school, he studied the sport intensively and became an active participant. Coach Gutierrez's dedication was evident as he delved into various videos, studying legends from the 1970s and meticulously learning the training methods of iconic figures like Kobe Bryant.
Transitioning from a player to a coach, Coach Gutierrez's coaching career took flight at Bosque School at the end of 2020, where he assumed the role of Head Coach of the C team for two seasons. His coaching prowess further developed in 2023 when he was appointed Head Coach of the D1 New Mexico 17 U team under the guidance of Coach Malik Waters, leading to a successful inaugural club season. In the fall of 2023, Coach Gutierrez found a home at La Cueva High School under the mentorship of Coach Eric O'rell.
Coach Gutierrez's dedication to basketball extends beyond the court. He remains steadfast in his ongoing study of the sport, driven by a profound desire to impart knowledge, cultivate community, foster sportsmanship, and mentor young athletes embarking on their journey to adulthood. His commitment to teaching, building community, and guiding aspiring athletes sets a remarkable example for the impact a dedicated coach can make in the lives of those they mentor.

Our guest in this episode is Stephanie Militano a dedicated sports dietitian whose primary mission is to assist athletes in gaining a competitive edge and breaking free from the under-fueling cycle by implementing robust nutrition plans. Over the course of her athletic and nutrition career, she has witnessed firsthand the unwavering dedication, drive, and commitment displayed by both athletes and their families in their pursuit of excellence in sports.
Stephanie firmly believes that athletes are empowered to enhance their workout performance, expedite their recovery, and distinguish themselves from their competitors when they prioritize their nutrition. Drawing from experience, she comprehends athletes' multifaceted challenges while balancing their sporting commitments, academic responsibilities, and personal lives.
Stephanie's journey began with realizing she had also grappled with similar challenges. She recognized that she had overlooked the crucial aspect of nutrition in her athletic pursuits. This oversight adversely affected her strength and bone health, resulting in preventable injuries.

This profound purpose is manifested through her mentorship, artistry, writing, and her role as an entrepreneurial leader.
From 2014 to 2022, Jennifer held diverse positions within higher education, transitioning from the realm of college athletics to ultimately becoming a tenure-track assistant professor. Her journey has been characterized by a series of transformative life pivots, each a deliberate step toward connecting with her authentic calling.
Jennifer's twenties were marked by a journey through chronic stress, anxiety, and a quest for personal identity, as she navigated the demanding hustle culture of daily life. The turning point came in June 2020 when she confronted a series of panic attacks and nervous system dysregulation, direct consequences of living a life out of alignment. Since then, she has embarked on a profound spiritual reconnection, realigning herself with her truest self and most authentic vision. This ongoing journey has led her to embrace a state of profound surrender to a higher plan, rooted in the depths of her soul's mission.
Jennifer facilitates transformative mentorship and workshops, drawing from an array of tools she has personally integrated into her life. These include self-inquiry, journaling, stream-of-consciousness poetry, meditation, breathwork, intuitive energetic insights, subconscious reprogramming, mindset techniques, and a resolute surrender to divine guidance.

In this week's episode, we're diving deep into a topic that hits close to home for all who are invested in developing our young athletes: the art of slowing down and cherishing the precious moments they're experiencing right now.
As we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of training, competition, and skill development, it's crucial that we take a step back to reflect on the incredible journey our athletes are on.
🕰️ Embracing the Present: Treasures in the Now As parents and coaches, we're often so focused on the future – the next tournament, the next season, the next level of play – that we forget to revel in the present.
We'll share inspiration, education, and wisdom to slow down and truly appreciate the small victories, the connections formed, and the pure joy of a young athlete's love for the game.

In today’s episode we interview Renee Jones, Nebraska Teacher of the year for 2022-2023. Her dedication to youth services has always been personal; her passion to build relationships and establish high expectations has always been rooted in the desire to support young people, just as people served her.
Throughout her professional journey, she has served youth in many capacities. As a visitation specialist, she provided support and safety for children and families as their parents worked to regain custody and consistency for their children. Working at Youth Residential Treatment Facilities both in Lincoln, NE, and San Francisco, CA, she has provided support and counseling for young people as they struggled through mental health and personal trauma.
While working at Lincoln High School, she worked diligently at providing engaging lessons and intentionally establishing relationships with staff and students. Each day she strives to accomplish those tasks while holding students accountable, just as school staff did for her brother and her.
She has a strong passion for building individuals' capacities and challenging people past what they believe is possible. Her love for education is rooted in her own childhood but has only strengthened as she became a mother. She is the proud parent of Maverick, Ace, Baerett, and Aurora Jones. Her children's unique personalities and learning styles are a daily reminder of the need to celebrate everyone as an individual and teach each person to meet their independent needs.
She will spend the rest of her professional career changing the lives of young people, just as other school personnel changed the life of her brother and her. She dedicates her career to being the educator and leader that changed the trajectory of her life and challenged her to simply believe in herself.

As I drove home the other day, we reflect on the journey that has led us to where we are now. From a small-town kid who desires to make a difference in the world to coaching youth basketball in one of the world's biggest and most famous cities. It's wild to think about, but I’m grateful for the path that has led us here.
Reflecting on my dreams after graduating high school, at that time, I wanted to train kids and potentially open up a non-profit gym for youth athletes. After exploring other career paths and options, I have circled back to that path.
I recently took some time to bike to the beach and asked myself some important questions:
What kind of impact do I really want to make?

Former collegiate softball athlete (Southern CT State University, '03-'07), former physical education teacher and high school coach (15 years in CT, softball & field hockey).
She started Game Changers in 2018 as a way to connect with the athletes she coached outside of her time with them on the field. Covid allowed the opportunity to do more "coaching" virtually on things that mattered to her athletes like mindset, leadership, goal setting, just to name a few.
In 2021 after an unexpected divorce, Coach K walked away from teaching, and the home she knew for the last 20 years, to go full time as a mental performance coach with Game Changers to help hundreds of individual athletes, teams and coaches at the high school and collegiate levels.
From what could have been a very sad story, Kristyna chose to build her own path back to happiness through controlling the controllables and embracing tough thoughts and feelings.
Now through her own learning she is able to teach others how to find their own "game changers" to help them in sport and in life.

The path to where Tyler currently stands started a bit sooner than most -- this journey began when he was a high school athlete. Going into his senior year, in an attempt to help both his teammates and himself develop skills more efficiently, he began to research and teach himself different ways to accomplish their goals of development.
Taking this information and skills he had learned, he played college basketball and took the same approach to work while preparing for the season alongside new teammates.
After my first season of college basketball, it became clear playing was no longer the part of the game he had a passion for. Helping players develop and grow through my unique methods became my primary focus and captivated my day-to-day life.
Helping young men and women grow as athletes on the court, but off the court as well has become a more fulfilling challenge than playing had ever been for him

In this episode of Coaches Corner, we explore the powerful phrase "Chop Wood, Carry Water" and its relevance to achieving success in any pursuit. This phrase, popularized by Phil Jackson during his tenure as coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process and not the outcome.
Phil Jackson used this phrase to remind his players to stay present and focused on the task at hand, rather than getting caught up in the end goal. By focusing on the small, daily tasks, such as chopping wood and carrying water, we can stay grounded and work towards our ultimate goal with steady progress.
This mindset applies to all aspects of life, whether it's in sports, business, or personal development. It's easy to get caught up in the end result and neglect the hard work and dedication that goes into achieving it. But by staying focused on the process, we can build the necessary skills and habits to reach our goals with consistency and determination.
In this video, we will delve deeper into the meaning of this phrase, and discuss how it can be applied to your own life to help you achieve success. So, join us as we chop wood and carry water on the journey towards greatness.

In this episode, we interview Ryan Bisio Two-Time Golden Valley Conference Coach of the Year (2020, 2022)
The 2021-2022 season brought continued success to College of the Redwoods. In his second season, Ryan Bisio and the Corsairs went on another magical run – resulting in another Golden Valley Conference Championship and advancing to the second round of the State Playoffs. Bisio has now solidified himself in all-time school history by winning the most Golden Valley Conference Championships and holding the highest winning percentage of all time (.781).
Bisio didn’t waste much time in his inaugural season as head coach of the Redwoods men’s basketball program in the 2019-2020 season. Beyond winning the school’s third outright Golden Valley Conference in school history, Bisio led the 22-6 Corsairs to the deepest playoff run in school history – the Northern California Elite Eight. The sudden and forceful impact to the landscape was widely felt, garnering Bisio votes for California Community College Coach of the Year.
Bisio comes to College of the Redwoods after becoming the winningest head coach in Arcata High School boys’ basketball history – compiling a record of 82-31 in his four seasons. During his tenure, the Tigers made four-straight North Coast Section playoff appearances, including a run to the state playoffs in the 2015-2016 season. In that time, Arcata captured three-straight HDN Conference titles, three-straight conference tournament titles, and produced three-straight league MVP’s.
Bisio has an international flair to his resume, having coached four seasons of men’s, women’s, and elite youth basketball at Hvidovre Basketball Club in Copenhagen, Denmark. In Hvidovre, Bisio led the u-16 boys’ team to three-straight National Final Four appearances – the first in the club’s history. He also developed players who went on to represent Team Denmark in International competition.
Bisio’s high school coaching experiences also include stints at Carmel High School and The Branson School, in Ross, California – where the Bulls won the North Coast Section and CIF NorCal Division 5 championships. Bisio also possesses junior college experience coaching with legendary head coach and mentor, Craig McMillan, at Santa Rosa Junior College.
As a player, Bisio graduated from St. Bernard’s High School in 2000 and still holds the all-time single season scoring record. Having played at Santa Rosa Junior College and competing in the 2003 Elite 8, Bisio then accepted a scholarship to California State Monterey Bay, playing for Hall of Fame coach Bill Trumbo and leading the California Collegiate Athletic Association in assist-to-turnover ratio his senior season.

In this edition of Coaches Corner, we will be discussing six strategies that you can use to set and achieve your goals and intentions for the new year.
First, we will talk about the importance of setting clear and specific goals. This means setting goals that are measurable and achievable and that have a clear deadline. By setting specific goals, you will have a better understanding of what you need to do to achieve them, and you will be more motivated to follow through.
Next, we will discuss the importance of setting intentions. Intentions are more holistic and focus on the overall direction you want to take in your life. By setting intentions, you can create a sense of purpose and direction, which can help you stay motivated and focused on your goals.
We will also talk about the power of setting small, achievable goals. By setting small goals, you can build momentum and confidence, which will help you stay motivated and on track to achieving your larger goals.
Finally, we will discuss the importance of creating a plan and taking action. By creating a plan and breaking your goals down into smaller, actionable steps, you will be able to make progress toward your goals and see tangible progress.
Join us in this episode as we discuss these six strategies for setting goals and intentions in 2023 and help you create a plan to make an impact this year!

"The distance between your dreams and reality is called discipline." - Unknown.
The margin for error in sports is often inches or less.
Our habits drive results in the long run. Do we execute our habits with discipline, or are we inconsistent at best? Little things like touching the line and two-hand passes are the difference.
If we become careless in practice, we will not reach our goals and dreams.

It's simple, but the word that comes first in the statement.
Love tough flips the tough love statement on its head. It's a reminder that we have to love and care about our players FIRST before we give them the tough accountability they need.
Once they know we love and care about them, we can start coaching them hard.
One behavior I've been noticing recently is the coach's lack of SHOWING they care. I'll watch coaches tell their athletes they care about them but never ask or engage them in any way unless it concerns the sport they are coaching them in.
We MUST SHOW the players we love and care for them daily.

The buzzword most often associated with high-performing teams is “chemistry”. Chemistry is formed through connection, and at the heart of connection is communication. Betsy understands that language is the most powerful tool we possess and that elevating our communication skills gives us a competitive advantage in any arena.
As a former coach with experience in DI, DII, DIII, and the WNBA Betsy utilizes her unique background with individuals ready to improve and teams of all kinds — from the locker room to the boardroom. As a facilitator and educator, people are her passion. As “The Coaches’ Coach” she meets individuals where they are and supports the growth and change they are looking to make.
As a Communication Specialist, Betsy helps organizations improve communication effectiveness while working collaboratively to create positive change at all levels of team. Professional, playful, and with a talent for people-centric design, Betsy offers an experiential approach towards learning and development.
A life-long athlete, Betsy grew up playing all sports and was a competitive basketball player (and fairly awful golfer) at the collegiate level. She now spends her time in Colorado Springs hiking, biking, practicing yoga, chasing sunsets, and in constant pursuit of the perfect breakfast burrito.

"Emphasize the best, minimize the rest." Katharine Hamnett
Coaches and teachers are responsible for helping athletes and students learn about their sport or subject.
In an era with so much information, emphasizing our teaching points is more important than ever.
Most young athletes are all on social media and most likely consuming basketball content. As coaches, we must differentiate and emphasize the key points our team needs to know to be successful on the team, not team Instagram.

How to Utilize the Power of Reflection
At the end of every day, I journal for at least 5 minutes, if not sometimes 10 reflecting on the day. What did I do well today? How could I have improved as a coach? What did I learn today? What challenged me today?
Constantly reflecting on my experience as a coach has helped me become a better coach for the next day. As coaches & adults, we always expect kids to constantly be learning from their mistakes and growing.
But what about us? Shouldn't we continue the same practice of striving to grow every day? Using the tool of reflection gives us an opportunity to first create self-awareness where we need to improve. If we don't reflect on our experiences, we don't know what we did well and should double down on.
We most certainly won't know our blind spots & how can make an improvement.

Most of us know what to do, and if we don't, we all have access to the internet to figure it out. If you want to become a better shooter in basketball, we all know we have to shoot 100s of shots a day to be a better shooter.
But it's actually more impactful if we shoot 100 game-speed shots daily instead of shooting 500 going at 50% speed.
How we train often matters more than what we train.

"It's just a game, they say. But for us, it's a way of life."
Sports were my childhood growing up, where I met and developed life-long friendships. Sports gave me an opportunity to experience heartbreak, learn how to be great at a craft, & the sweet joy of victory.
Sports are so much bigger than wins and losses.
Sports are about the connections we make with people from all over the world. My experience as an athlete in sports is the reason WHY I will be dedicating the rest of my life to coaching the next generation.

I worked at a Shooting Clinic for PGC Basketball a few weekends ago.
The clinic director asked all of us, "what percentage of being a great basketball is mental?" A majority of us raised our hands for AT LEAST 50%.
If that's the case, we have to ask ourselves; do we really spend 50% of our time training the mental side of our game? As coaches, do we dedicate 50% of our practice time to developing our team's mindset?
For most of us, it's an overwhelming no; we do not.
Three Ways to Begin to Win the Mental Game
- Watch your thoughts like a hawk - Activity: Meditation
- Ask whether these thoughts are true - Activity: Journaling
- Tell yourself a new story - Activity: Reminder to Self

We all have heard the saying, "trust the process."
But, there is a difference between knowing we need to trust the process and genuinely believing in the process.
Many young athletes struggle with the process even more than us.
Again, I come back to social media because of the instant information we all now have access to.
Young athletes constantly look at professional players' highlights and want to jump straight to the pros.
I'll admit, that is totally me as well. I want to jump to 1,000 podcast listeners and 1,000 Youtube subscribers, & turn Bridging Impact Basketball into my full-time income.
All of those goals of mine will come true, but not today.
So, what is one of the best ways to learn something?
Teach it.
Five Ways to Teach the Process:
- Model the Process
- Share Stories
- Relatable Content
- Tracking
- Reflect

"Don't be talking about your three home run games. They don't care about that. It just makes them feel inadequate. Tell 'em about how you went 0 for 5 w/ 5 strikeouts, show your humanness." -Dave Turgeon.
Three Ways We Can Be More Vulnerable
ASK! - Ask the silly get-to-know-you questions. Favorite food? Place to vacation? Then continually ask the deeper ones, "what are your strengths? Weaknesses? How can I improve?
Share - Sharing your story is so powerful in connecting with kids. I always share the story of getting cut from varsity in my junior year because that's relatable for kids. They don't want to hear how good you were; they also want to hear the challenges they are going through right now.
Make Mistakes - Be willing to own your mistakes and ask for feedback. If you want your athletes to grow constantly, you must role model what it looks like first!

How often do we find ourselves scrolling through social media and comparing ourselves to others' accomplishments?
We hit a goal we set, like making ten 3's in a row, but then we see our teammate we used to play with made 15 in a row.
We adults do this, but the comparison trap is even worse for young athletes now.
