Are your three closest teammates a friend group, or a clique the rest of the roster feels shut out of?
JP Nerbun, Betsy Butterick, and Nate Sanderson dig into Level 4 leadership this week: the real difference between a clique and a close friend group, why almost no team builds a genuine culture of honest feedback, and Betsy's own story as a Division I captain who left a program midseason.
Whether you are trying to break up an unhealthy clique or support a player through a transfer decision, this conversation will change how you think about what it takes to lead a team.

"We make it out to be this perseverance: drive hard, sit at the end of the bench, put up with a tough coach, and get through it all. We glorify that to an extent that's probably not healthy."
- J.P. Nerbun
"We're really good at judging on the back end, and we're really bad at counting the cost on the front end."

"The quitting part was about being a good teammate to myself. That was the first time in my life I can remember putting myself before the team."
- Betsy Butterick
2 Questions for Your TeamQ1: When was the last time you gave a teammate honest feedback even though it felt uncomfortable? What stopped you the times you didn't?
Q2: If you're in a tight group of friends on this team, are you making sure everyone else always has an open door in, too?

Key Takeaways A tight friend group isn't automatically a toxic clique * Every athlete doesn't need to feel close to every teammate, just to someone * Most teams don't have a culture of feedback, they have one or two truth-tellers * Give players a script for feedback and it's still excruciating, and that's normal * We're good at judging quitting after the fact and bad at examining the cost before it * Quitting can be the most self-respecting decision a captain ever makes*

Better Coaches. Better Leaders. Better Culture.
Most coaches have someone they pour into. Almost none of them have someone who pours back.
In part two with Zach Brandon, JP and Zach go deeper into what it actually takes to develop coaches — not players, coaches — and why that investment may be the most overlooked lever in any program. Zach shares the story that reoriented his entire career: a coach who could not remember his own family moments and discovered he was missing from most of the photos on the wall. The conversation builds into his core coaching framework — Impact = Individual Capabilities x Environment, minus Interference — and why the internal interference is almost always the harder, more important work.
This one is for any coach who suspects they might be their own biggest obstacle, or who has never stopped long enough to ask: who is developing me?

Better Coaches. Better Leaders. Better Culture.
Zach Brandon spent years inside one of the most pressure-filled environments in professional sports. The biggest thing he took away was not about performance. It was about connection.
In this first conversation with Zach, JP sits down with the former Head of Mental Performance and Coach Development for the Arizona Diamondbacks, on staff during their 2023 World Series run, to explore what he learned about servant leadership, building genuine relationships across a roster, and the principle most leaders quietly overlook: go see the work. Zach and JP also get honest about the cost of diluted focus and why an overused strength can quietly become your biggest limitation.
This one is for any coach who has felt spread too thin, wondered whether athletes really trust them, or needed a reminder that the most powerful question you can ask is: what do you need from me today?

Better Coaches. Better Leaders. Better Culture.
Every coach says they want more leaders. But most are picturing the wrong level entirely.
JP Nerbun, Betsy Butterick, and Nate Sanderson unpack Level 3 leadership, the one-to-one relational work that has to exist before Level 4 (leading the whole team) ever works, including the Joey Votto story of a star player who took up Spanish and improv classes just to become a better teammate.
Whether you've got a team full of quiet glue players or you're still waiting for someone to step up, this conversation will change how you look for leadership on your roster.

"The problem with hard conversations isn't not knowing the template. The problem is the belief system that gets in the way of actually changing the behavior."
- J.P. Nerbun
"One group calls it 'called out.' The other group calls the exact same thing, a coach stopping practice to single out an athlete, 'called up.' It depends on the relationship."

"Rizzo said he got called out by Ross more than a few times, and every single time he walked away feeling like the guy loved him."

2 Questions for Your Team
Q1: On a scale of 1 to 10, how comfortable are you calling out a teammate when they're below the standard? What belief is keeping you from a 10?
Q2: Think of one teammate you'd call out without hesitation, and one you wouldn't. What's actually different about those two relationships?

Dr. Jody Carrington says the most vulnerable emotion on the planet is not fear or grief. It is joy.
In part two of her conversation with JP, Dr. Jody Carrington gets specific about what it means to regulate yourself before you can lead anyone else, why joy requires every defense to be down, and why she collects information before she directs a hard conversation.
This one is for any coach who has ever felt calm on paper but tight in the jaw, and who wants tools that work in the middle of practice, not just in theory.

Better Coaches. Better Leaders. Better Culture.
If the big people aren't okay, the little people don't stand a chance. That is the idea psychologist Dr. Jody Carrington has built her career on, and it flips the entire athlete development conversation on its head.
In part one of this two part conversation, JP sits down with Dr. Jody Carrington, a clinical psychologist and founder of Carrington and Company who has spent decades studying emotional regulation in high pressure environments, from a locked psychiatric unit to elite sports organizations. She unpacks why the coach's own nervous system sets the ceiling for the team's, and why the answer to a dysregulated athlete is never more yelling.
Whether you coach with intensity or with quiet steadiness, this episode will change how you think about the person running the room, not just the players in it.

Better Coaches. Better Leaders. Better Culture.
Is your best leader always your best teammate? JP Nerbun, Betsy Butterick, and Nate Sanderson are not so sure, and the answer says a lot about how you build culture this season.
This episode continues an ongoing conversation around JP's new book, The Culture Captain, with the group digging into Level Two: leading yourself before you ever try to lead anyone else. They unpack why the chapter on effort was the hardest one JP wrote, what separates a Steph Curry from a Caitlin Clark on the leader versus teammate question, and why so many athletes hold back effort out of fear of being labeled a tryhard.
Whether you are coaching the most obsessed competitor on your roster or the kid who just wants to enjoy the sport, this conversation will change how you think about effort, identity, and what it actually takes to lead yourself first.

Key Takeaways Leading yourself is not a formula. It is a personal journey. * A great leader is not always a great teammate. * Curiosity beats correction when a leader cannot reserve judgment. * The fear of being a tryhard is quietly shutting down effort. * Moving an athlete from victim to creator starts with naming a choice. * The hardest part of leading yourself is the moment you let yourself down.*

Making athletes work harder is one thing. Making athletes better is something else entirely — and Rustin Dodd draws that line clearly in this episode.
In part two of JP Nerbun's conversation with Rustin Dodd and Elise Devlin of The Athletic's Peak section, the discussion moves from habits and rituals into the heart of transformational coaching. Elise covers Dan Quinn's player PowerPoint presentations, Lisa Bluder's deep-dive into understanding Caitlin Clark, and what Tara Vanderveer's lasting player relationships reveal about the longevity of great coaching. Rustin breaks down the energy cost of being a coach and why the coaches who last build support systems around themselves. The episode closes with John Harbaugh's accountability frame and why "shoot the ball" might be the most important thing a coach can say.
For coaches who want to understand what separates the ones athletes call ten years later from the ones they just remember.

Most coaches spend their careers shaping athletes. Rustin Dodd and Elise Devlin spend theirs learning from them — and what they've found might change how you coach.
Rustin and Elise write NY Times feature, The Peak for The Athletic, a section devoted to the mental side of elite sports. In this episode with JP Nerbun, they unpack what a year of "I Tried" journalism has taught them: Kobe's silence practice, Michael Phelps' freestyle journaling, Buzz Williams writing four to five letters a day, an Olympian who approaches every failure with childlike curiosity, and a reminder from David Ortiz about what it actually means to bounce back. The thread running through all of it: curiosity.
For coaches who want to understand what's going on inside their athletes — and maybe inside themselves — before it becomes a problem.

Better Coaches. Better Leaders. Better Culture.
JP Nerbun's 10-year-old daughter said something on the walk to the bus that stopped him cold: "She's climbing the mountain of achievement without any purpose." That one line is the heart of this entire conversation.
This special episode drops on the launch day of JP's new book The Culture Captain — a field guide for athletes learning to lead from the inside out. JP sits down with longtime friend John O'Sullivan, founder of the Changing the Game Project and co-author of Captain: The Athlete's Guide to Being an Exceptional Team Leader (with Jerry Lynch). Two books. Same subject. Written simultaneously, on opposite sides of the Atlantic. They go deep on self-awareness as the foundation of leadership, why modeling behaviors beats locker room speeches, how to have a difficult conversation before you feel ready, and what it means to lead from the bench when things aren't going your way.
Whether you coach athletes, lead a team, or are still figuring out who you are as a leader — this one is for you.

Better Coaches. Better Leaders. Better Culture.
What does it mean to truly know yourself — not perform yourself, not brand yourself for public approval, but honestly know who you are at your core?
JP Nerbun, Betsy Butterick, and Nate Sanderson explore that question in this roundtable, the first in a four-part series on JP's new book, The Culture Captain. Betsy shares the story of an athlete and what she filled in her personal definition led to an eye-opening statement about being "enough". This quiet act of self-definition opens a deeper conversation about identity, enoughness, and what it costs to resist the pressure to brand yourself for the world's approval. Nate brings a hard-won insight from a facilitation with student-athletes that challenges a core assumption most coaches hold about leadership readiness. JP is honest about the gap between success and fulfillment — and about the dark side of purpose itself, how even meaningful work can become obligation when fulfillment is measured in external terms. Betsy's Championship Soup exercise from a workshop at Stanford with Tara Vanderbeer gives every coach a practical way in. This is the beginning of a longer conversation — one level at a time.
If the question "who are you?" has ever felt harder to answer than it should, this one is for you.

"When I'm at my best, when I feel most at peace, when I feel most content, when I feel most truly myself — look back at those moments. And then ask: how do I bring that forward and offer it as a gift to my team, to the world?"
— JP Nerbun
"I believe leadership is a boat that anyone can board — if you have the desire to develop that awareness, to know yourself, to use your influence on purpose."
— Betsy Butterick
2 Questions for Your Team
Q1: When was the first time someone truly invited you to define who you are — not describe yourself to others, but honestly articulate who you are at your core? How has that shaped the way you invite athletes into self-discovery?
Q2: Think of a recent coaching achievement. On a scale of 1–10, how fulfilled did it make you feel? What does that number tell you about whether you are living in your values?

Better Coaches. Better Leaders. Better Culture.
Most coaches think they're having conversations with their athletes. Marcia Reynolds says they're mostly just talking.
In this episode, JP Nerbun sits down with Marcia Reynolds — executive coach, neuroscience researcher, and author of Coach the Person, Not the Problem — to unpack the science of what makes a coaching conversation actually transformational. Marcia explains why telling athletes what to do almost never leads to lasting change, breaks down the critical difference between coaching and mentoring, and shares a three-step pre-conversation practice that changes how you show up before a single word is spoken.
If you coach athletes, lead a staff, or are navigating a difficult conversation at home — this one is for you.

"You have not lived their life. You can't stand in someone's shoes. That's not possible. Coach slowly. Try to see what they see through their eyes. Don't assume you know."
— Marcia Reynolds
"Information doesn't change behavior. When I work with the creative center of the brain, when I'm reflecting what they're saying, so they listen to themselves and go, I said that, I believe that... that's when insights emerge."
— Marcia Reynolds
"We make coaching way too hard. When all I'm doing is relaxing into this conversation — just having a conversation with you, listening to what you're saying, offering back what I think you said that seems most important."
— Marcia Reynolds
2 Questions for Your Team
Q1: Before your next coaching conversation with an athlete, write your true intention in one sentence. Are you going in to fix them or to genuinely understand them? What shifts when you lead with honest curiosity?
Q2: Think of a recent moment where you gave an athlete advice that didn't stick. What one question could have opened the door to their own insight instead?

Better Coaches. Better Leaders. Better Culture.
The Art of Communication: Finding Your Voice as a CoachJP Nerbun sits down with co-host Betsy Butterick to explore how intentional communication transforms athlete relationships, team culture, and coaching identity.
TOC 3-2-1: 3 Quotes, 2 Questions, 1 Resource3 Quotes Worth Writing Down1. "Anytime someone says 'that's just who I am,' what immediately comes up for me is — no, that's who you've been. You get to choose who you get to be in the next moment." — Betsy Butterick 2. "If we hope to teach them, we first need to reach them. It is arguably much easier for one person — the coach — to shift how they communicate than it is to try to change an entire generation." — Betsy Butterick 3. "When you speak quietly, people need to come closer, lean in. That was exactly the space I wanted to coach athletes in." — Betsy Butterick
2 Questions for Your Team1. When you communicate with your athletes before a big moment, are you trying to inspire them — or genuinely educate and invite them into something? What's the difference for your team? 2. Are there phrases or habits in your coaching communication that fall under "that's just who I am"? What would it look like to ask instead: Is this who I want to be?
1 Resource to Go DeeperKids These Days by Betsy Butterick — the practical communication guide for coaches working with today's athletes. Packed with immediately usable frameworks, real-world stories, and a resource section built to last.
Visit: betsybutterick.com
Key Takeaways1. Communication is a craft, not a personality trait. Betsy's communication didn't come from natural talent — it came from decades of intentional reps: journaling, coaching thousands of young athletes, and a relentless curiosity about language. The implication for every coach: this is buildable. 2. Inspiring a room and inviting athletes in are not the same thing. Betsy's goal is never to inspire — it's to educate. But the best teaching carries emotional charge, and the question you ask after a lesson is what bridges information to behavior change. Don't just tell them. Ask them what they got from it. 3. Yelling is a tool — use it like one. In a decade of coaching, Betsy raised her voice about seven times — and believes every player could still tell you exactly why. Coaches who rarely yell make every raised voice meaningful. Coaches who yell constantly give athletes nothing to read. 4. "That's just who I am" is a pattern, not an identity. When coaches or athletes use that phrase, it closes the door on growth. The reframe Betsy offers: that's who you've been — not who you have to be. Adapting your communication style isn't lowering your standards; it's what makes holding high standards possible. 5. Accountability requires co-creation, not just enforcement. Most accountability conversations fail because expectations were never truly shared — they were just announced. When athletes help build the standard, they're far more likely to hold each other to it. Peer accountability only works after shared understanding exists.
Action Items for Leaders and Coaches* Audit Your Volume: Track how often you raise your voice this week. Is it a tool — or a habit you haven't examined? * End With a Question: After your next team talk, close with one question that invites athletes to reflect on what they just heard. * Spot the Pattern: Notice when you or your athletes say "that's just who I am." Replace it with: "That's who I've been — is it who I want to be?" * Co-Create One Standard: Pick one expectation you've been enforcing alone. Build shared understanding around it with your athletes this week.

Can you build a high-performance culture if you're not developing yourself as a coach? In this episode of the Coaching Culture Podcast, JP is joined by Tyler and Mark from SAVI Basketball for a powerful conversation on coaching competency, leadership credibility, and why your effectiveness as a coach directly impacts your team culture.
We dig into why "culture eats strategy for breakfast" — but bad coaching makes you want to throw up. If your players can't trust that you'll make them better, no amount of team-building activities will save your culture.
🔑 In this episode, you'll learn:
Why coaching competency is the foundation of team culture
How hypocrisy from leadership silently erodes everything you're building
Why you must be believable as a coach before culture can thrive
The difference between a Level 1 and Level 3 culture
Where to start if your coaching is the ceiling on your team's performance

In Part 2 of our conversation with performance nutritionist Daniel Davey, we go deeper into the psychology of behavior change and why traditional nutrition advice often fails. Daniel shares profound insights on coaching the person, not just the problem, and how childhood experiences shape our relationship with food.
What You'll Learn:
Daniel opens up about the influences that shaped his coaching approach—from his father's extraordinary listening skills to working with Jim Gavin and Dublin's five-in-a-row All-Ireland winning team. He reveals why the hardest part of his job isn't the nutrition science, but helping people realize they have the answers within themselves.
We explore the complex relationship between identity, body image, and performance—including how male athletes struggle with body image in ways that often go unaddressed. Daniel shares vulnerable stories about his own journey and why sometimes athletes need a "boot in the hole" while others need a hug.
Key Topics:
- Why 3-5 minutes is enough for nutrition advice, but 55 minutes is needed to understand the person
- The difference between knowing what to do and being able to do it
- How childhood experiences shape our relationship with food
- Identity vs. body image: Understanding the distinction in elite sport
- Working with professional vs. amateur athletes: What actually changes
- The alcohol conversation: Culture, masculinity, and performance in Irish sport
- Why confidence—not meal plans—is the ultimate outcome of good nutrition coaching
- Simple environmental changes that support good nutrition (hint: fruit baskets and microwaves matter)
Perfect for: Coaches who want to understand behavior change beyond their sport, practitioners working in nutrition or lifestyle coaching, and anyone interested in the deeper psychology of performance.
Daniel challenges coaches to examine their own relationship with food and asks: Are you embodying the behaviors you want to see in your athletes? This conversation goes far beyond nutrition—it's about what it means to truly support human performance.

Join us for an in-depth conversation with performance nutritionist Daniel Davey, who has worked with elite teams including Dublin senior football and Leinster Rugby. In this episode, Daniel shares the realities of creating lasting cultural change around nutrition and lifestyle habits in high-performance environments.
What You'll Learn:
Daniel reveals why presentations and workshops alone don't create change, and why the real impact comes from ongoing conversations and relationships with athletes. He discusses the critical role of leadership buy-in, the importance of meeting athletes where they are, and why milk in the fridge and bananas on the counter might matter more than elaborate meal plans.
We explore the often-overlooked reality that even elite athletes—including national record holders—struggle with basic nutrition habits. Daniel shares powerful stories about what it means to truly care about athletes' development, from showing up at games to understanding someone's lemon zest and honey dressing.
Key Topics:
- Why coach commitment is the single most powerful driver of nutrition culture
- The limitations of one-off workshops vs. continuous support
- How to have meaningful conversations that create lasting behavior change
- Understanding energy management: physical, mental, and emotional
- The pyramid of nutrition priorities (and why everyone wants to start at the top)
- Red, orange, and green days: a simple framework for planning your week
- Why the real work isn't about meal plans—it's about understanding the person
Perfect for: Coaches, performance staff, athletes, and anyone interested in creating sustainable change in high-performance environments.
Whether you're working with professional athletes or building culture in any competitive setting, Daniel's insights will change how you think about nutrition, behavior change, and what it really means to support performance.

🧪 Coaching Like a Scientist: How Observation & Values Led to a State Title
What does it mean to "coach like a scientist"? In Part 2 of our conversation with first-year varsity head coach and podcast editor Mckenzie Ridgely, we explore the evolution of leadership that goes far beyond personality.
Mckenzie reflects on her journey from thinking leadership meant being the "loudest and meanest" to realizing that her best self involves observing how her players respond and shifting her methods to meet them where they are. We dive deep into the "Team Manifesto"—how co-created values became the ultimate tool for accountability during a high-stakes championship run.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Evolving the "Best Self": Why coaching based on personality alone is a trap, and how to adapt your energy to get the best out of others.
- The "Scientist" Approach: Learning to treat every practice and game as an experiment, using player feedback (verbal and behavioral) to guide your next move.
- Values as a Tool, Not Just a Poster: The critical moment Mckenzie used team values to turn around a failing scrimmage and set the tone for the season.
- The TOC Safety Net: The power of a non-judgmental community for testing new systems and finding support in the "mind games" of leadership.
- The Story of the Season: Implementing team journaling to help players reflect on their growth and the memories that led to a State Championship.
Key Resources Mentioned:
- Annie Duke on Decision-Making (Podcast Episode)
- Jennifer Garvey Berger on Mind Traps (Podcast Series)
- The TOC Journal

McKenzie Ridgely joins the hosts to discuss her successful first season as a varsity head coach, focusing on the implementation of culture systems and resources from TOC (The Coaches' Community). She highlights the importance of "working on the front end"—establishing clear expectations, systems, and communication with players and parents before the season starts. Key topics covered include the structure and impact of her initial parent meeting, the process for selecting captains and forming a leadership council, using player development plans, and strategies for communicating playing time decisions and handling late-season pressure.

As we close out the year, JP, Nate, and Betsy dive deep into the internal "operating system" of leadership.

Are you stuck in a cycle of "push, push, push" but feeling like you’re hitting a ceiling in your growth? Often, the barriers to our progress aren't our external habits, but the deep-seated belief systems and thought habits that drive our every move.
In this episode, JP Nerbun, Nate Sanderson, and Betsy Butterick pull back the curtain on the "Operating Systems" of successful leaders. They dive deep into the five most common limiting beliefs that keep coaches and leaders stuck—from the trap of tying self-worth to productivity to the paralyzing need for certainty before taking action.
Whether you are a veteran coach or an emerging leader, this conversation will challenge you to stop merely "doing" and start examining the mindsets that define your success.

This episode, featuring hosts J.P. Nerbun, Nate Sanderson, and Betsy Buttrick, tackles the significant challenge of leading other adults in a coaching context, whether as a head coach, athletic director, or club administrator.
The conversation begins with an anecdote about Washington Commanders' Head Coach Dan Quinn, who started his tenure by having every staff member, including himself, deliver a personal PowerPoint presentation about their life to build a strong "coach culture". The hosts discuss the common barriers that prevent leaders from effectively leading their adult staff, such as fear of conflict, the limited pool of willing coaches (volunteers), and the assumption that adults "should know better".
A central theme is the difficulty of holding coaches accountable to a set standard, an issue that often stems from the leader's own discomfort with confrontation (conflict aversion) and a lack of established processes for staff development and accountability. The discussion shifts from the mindset of being a "manager" with power over others to being a "leader" who works with their staff to co-create and uphold a shared culture. The episode concludes with practical advice and tools for leaders to intentionally lead their staff, emphasizing that coaches, like athletes, want to be led and supported.

Part 2 of the conversation with Shane Sowden, Head Men's Basketball Coach at Briarcrest College, focuses on his commitment to deep, transformational relationships with his athletes, moving beyond a purely transactional coaching style. He discusses the importance of caring candor and brutal honesty with his players, even when it's difficult.A major theme is the value of investing time in players off the court to build genuine connections, which he finds improves performance on the court as a high "return on investment". This includes one-on-ones, asking non-basketball questions, sharing his own story as a college athlete, and creating unique team environments.Finally, Sowden reflects on the advice he'd give his younger self, emphasizing that a coach's worth doesn't come from the scoreboard. True success is measured by the impact on a player's life at ages 35, 40, and 45—living out the program's values as a spouse, parent, and community leader.Join TOC COACH: https://www.skool.com/toccoach/aboutSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://www.tocculture.com/newsletter
Coach Shane Sowden reflects on his team's amazing season and shares that the most significant part wasn't the "storybook ending," but the individual stories of self-sacrifice and putting the team first that created the foundation for success. He contrasts his sense of fulfillment and meaning with the "emptiness" often felt after reaching the pinnacle of achievement.The core of the discussion centers on a pivotal turning point two and a half years prior, during a difficult season, where Sowden realized he needed to be his authentic self as a coach. Sowden also shares how embracing vulnerability and a collaborative approach—including asking players for their input on strategy and their perception of him at his best (which was when he was confident) —helped him connect with his team and fostered an environment of trust. The episode concludes with a discussion on the importance of self-leadership and consistency in modeling values for players, especially during difficult times.Join TOC COACH: https://www.skool.com/toccoach/aboutSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://www.tocculture.com/newsletter

A brilliant team activity (Playing Time Case Studies) to expose your athletes to the complexity of your coaching decisions. How to empower your team leaders (captains) to "coach the transition" for new and promoted players.

Ready to transform your team culture from the inside out?
In Part 2 of our deep dive into coaching, we sit down with executive coach Zafer Achi to unlock the developmental secrets behind high-performing teams. Forget the surface-level talk about team building; Zafer offers a fresh, advanced perspective on the four universal team challenges: Trust, Conflict, Accountability, and Failure.
This isn't just theory—it's a coaching masterclass on how to move your team from being "subject to" their old habits to gaining the perspective (the "object" view) needed for genuine growth and success. Whether you're a sports coach, CEO, or team manager, you'll walk away with a richer understanding of the human dynamics that truly drive performance.
🔥 Episode Highlights: What You'll Learn
Trust is Not What You Think It Is: Discover why "trust" is a complex, multi-layered concept and how your team members' differing personal definitions (is it about reliability? is it about openness?) can create friction or synergy. Learn the crucial conversation you must have to build a unified foundation.
The Law of Three in Conflict: Stop oscillating between easy agreement and outright fighting. Zafer introduces the concept of the Reconciling Force—the higher possibility that transcends simple opposition—to turn team disagreements into opportunities for collective growth and invention.
The Three Faces of Accountability: Are your team's metrics killing its spirit? Find out why the highest form of accountability isn't hitting numbers, but embracing "continuous experimentation and learning," especially in volatile environments. Learn how to choose the right definition for the right task.
The Right Kind of Wrong: In the arena of failure, where most teams lose, you'll learn to distinguish between blameworthy mistakes (negligence) and praiseworthy failures (pushing the growth edge). Zafer explains why, for a team to truly improve, falling down must be an intrinsic part of the process.
The Joy Factor: Ultimately, Zafer shares his most important purpose: bringing joy, fluidity, and playfulness into the team experience, transforming the time spent at work or on the field into something truly life-giving.
Don't just run plays—develop people. Listen now and start building a team capable of navigating complexity, not just winning the next game.

Join us for a transformative conversation with David Durand, founder of Real Development (realdevelopment.org), as we dive deep into the psychology of coaching modern athletes. This episode challenges traditional views on "softness" and reveals how building true resilience starts with understanding the athlete's nervous system.
David explains how to identify when an athlete is truly "unable" due to dysregulation or internal struggles like perfectionism, rather than simply being "unwilling." He advocates for a coaching philosophy that prioritizes helping athletes regulate before pushing their boundaries – stretching them for growth, not stressing them into shutdown.
Key topics covered:
- The Nervous System & Resilience: Why it's the foundation for bouncing back stronger.
- Decoding Athlete Behavior: Understanding the roots of "unwillingness" in stress and perfectionism.
- Choice vs. Obligation: Empowering Gen Z through autonomy and understanding their unique desires.
- Practical Tools for Coaches: Simple yet powerful shifts in breathing, language, and non-verbal cues to create a high-performance, high-safety environment.
This is a must-listen for any coach, parent, or leader looking to cultivate not just better athletes, but more resilient and self-aware individuals.

In a special live coaching call, host JP Nerbunn works with John Newman-Gonchar, a Division I head women's volleyball coach. The conversation is a raw and vulnerable exploration of the struggles many coaches face: balancing a demanding career with family life while rediscovering the initial passion and joy that led them to the profession.
John reveals a deep-seated feeling of being pulled in a hundred different directions, which he believes detracts from his ability to give his best to his team and his family. The session focuses on challenging John’s core beliefs, particularly the idea that being a serious, high-performing coach is incompatible with being lighthearted and joyful. Through powerful questions and reflections, the discussion helps John identify his personal vision for his "best self"—a coach who is both intense and serious about his craft, and simultaneously joyful, lighthearted, and emotionally present. The episode concludes with John committing to specific, actionable steps to bring this new, aligned version of himself into his upcoming season.

In Part 2, Coach JT Toczynski dives deeper into the specific culture-building activities he implements with his high school basketball team. He emphasizes the importance of fostering vulnerability, community engagement, and mental toughness. JT shares details about "speed dating" for new players, "hero and hardship" circles for deeper connection, annual community service at a senior home, and "Hell Day" exercises designed to push mental and physical limits.
A significant part of the discussion revolves around JT's personal growth as a coach, specifically his journey to become more demanding while maintaining strong relationships with his players. He candidly shares his "immunity to change" — his fear of not being liked or replicating negative past experiences — and how he actively worked to overcome this. A particularly impactful story highlights a difficult, yet breakthrough, exit interview where vulnerability and embracing silence led to a strengthened relationship with a challenging player.
The conversation concludes with JT detailing his system for maintaining high standards in practice through behavioral accountability and empowering captains. He also reflects on the shift from a "fixer" mentality to allowing players to process emotions, and his ongoing "north star" of being a demanding coach whose players will ultimately respect and appreciate the challenging experience.

This episode of the Coaching Culture podcast, hosted by JP Nerbun, Nate Sanderson, and Betsy Butterrick, delves into a profound distinction: team being vs. team building. Inspired by their recent transformative TOC retreat, the hosts argue that true team connection and growth emerge not from elaborate team-building activities, but from intentionally created time and space for individuals to simply be together.
The common misconception is that "team building" requires specific, often activity-focused events like paintball or bowling. However, the hosts emphasize that it's less about what people do together and more about the simple act of being together, allowing time to slow down, fostering deep listening, and creating an environment where individuals feel truly seen.

In this episode, JP and Nate discuss two contrasting perspectives held by sports enthusiasts. On one side, there are those who believe that there is no such thing as failure in sports, but rather continuous progress and valuable lessons to be learned. On the other side, there are individuals who emphasize that the scoreboard is the ultimate determinant of success. Our hosts explore the question of whether coaches, players, and organizations can genuinely prioritize both winning and purpose in their approach.

Being able to process the criticism that comes from the job is a key component to the coaching profession. People are emotionally invested into your team - regardless of the level of coaching. In December of 2020, Sports Illustrated released an article criticizing our guest’s leadership role with the Houston Texans. Within the article, there was not one cited source or individual. When criticism attacks an individual’s character, it tends to dehumanize coaches that have invested so much into their work, relationships, and life. In Part 2 of our conversation with one of the most experienced character and culture coaches in the world, Jack Easterby, we hear some words of wisdom, coupled with personal accounts, on navigating transitions in life.
√ Demands start with self and systems
√ The value of your inner circle
√ Criticism: Repurposed care

Many years ago, a strength and conditioning coach was unheard of and now it’s certainly become the norm. In the last decade, coaches that specialize in leadership and team culture have seen a spike in desirability for programs. Moving forward, this type of coaching position is going to continue to grow in demand. One of the most experienced character and culture coaches in the world, Jack Easterby, joins the podcast for a 2-part conversation. Starting with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and then moving to the University of South Carolina, then back to the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, and onto the New England Patriots where he was a part of 3 Super Bowl Championships, Jack has a wealth of experience to pull from during his time in these organizations, including a front office role for the Houston Texans as the Vice President of Team Development. JP and Jack know each other from years back, growing up in close proximity in Columbia, South Carolina. In this episode, Jack shares some core principles along with many insights from his time with one of the greatest dynasties of all time - the New England Patriots.

The end of the year and the end of the season bring a lot of reflection. Most, if not all, coaches vow to be better before each season or year begins. Yet, we oftentimes find ourselves in the same ruts with the same burnt-out thoughts tempted to blame or shame our players and spend more and more time at the office by the time mid-season frustrations set in. In this episode, JP and Nate discuss personal values and the obstacles that keep us from prioritizing those said values.
√ When you can’t do all you feel compelled to do
√ The willingness to sacrifice the sacred cow

Playing time. It is without a doubt the most common confrontational issue at all levels in all sports. Players, and even parents, are often irrational and biased about what they or their kid(s) deserve when it comes to playing time.

Join JP and Nate as they discuss ideas that have proven successful again and again.
√ Make no mistake: Coaches will be questioned
√ The importance of performance measures for playing time

A player’s confidence is fragile and is often thought to be in the coach’s hands. If you’ve coached long enough, you have likely been accused of killing a player’s confidence. Coaches may get defensive when facing the blame for a player's crisis in confidence, but it's worth examining the coach's role in helping to build and maintain a player's faith in themselves. At the same time, we would all likely agree that a player should ultimately be responsible for how they think about their game. In this episode, JP and Nate discuss the balancing act of these two competing perspectives.
√ Is it the player’s responsibility or coach’s role?
√ The detrimental effect of unpredictability
√ Having the conversation impacts confidence
√ Understanding the importance of the inner-narrative

Comfort is not the answer. It is discomfort. In his book, The Comfort Crisis, Michael Easter discusses that our sheltered, sterile, temperature-controlled, overfed, underchallenged, lives are the leading cause of many of our most urgent physical and mental health issues. Since reading Easter’s book, JP has pursued discomfort - which led him to running 120 miles across Ireland in under 40 hours in The Kerry Way ultra-marathon. JP shares his journey from inspiration to perspiration as he explores the value of running toward discomfort and lessons learned along the way.
√ The Challenge of the Misogi
√ Getting to the starting line
√ Getting to the finish line
√ …And everything in between

As coaches, we have to know and understand which struggles really matter.
Get the weekly podcast coaching notes by going to thriveonchallenge.com and subscribing to the weekly newsletter!
Struggle is age appropriate.
Struggle builds our resiliency tank. - If you continue to bail your athlete or children out, they will lose the ability to solve problems their own as they get older.
There has to be a balance between bailing them out and making them step up to the plate.
Allowing Athletes to Struggle - We continue to delay the consequence of bad habits. - Create environments where kids learn implicitly. - We’ve robbed kids of the ability to just figure things out! - Teaching kids how to talk and walk we don’t put them through “classes”. - They aren’t uncoachable, they just don’t know how to learn.
Advice for College Coaches - Look for it in your recruits. - You need to know your standards and you better not waver. - Let people experience the consequence quickly. - A coaching staff who was 100% in alignment and ready to back you.

Shared vulnerability can help your athletes connect, whether it be through a tough workout or sharing different aspects of their life with their teammates.
Power of Moments takeaways: - Humor is a powerful way to connect people
Powerful moments can sneak up on you. - Athletes may remind you of powerful small moments that impacted them. - Hearing from them about small powerful moments will make you more aware of them the next time they happen
How do you recognize that these smaller moments can have powerful impacts on your athletes?
What are some things you can do as a coach to create these small powerful moments? - Create an environment where players can connect - Some of these moments happen organically, but when they do, capture the recipes for these moments in order to create more later on
Negative experiences can stick out as much as those positive moments. - Your brain will latch onto your most intense experiences. - It will not filter out a bad versus good experience

Building powerful moments:
Category 1: Elevation - This moment becomes memorable because its different from other moments. It rises above other moments.

Category 3: Moments of Pride, Recognition, Achievement
Category 4: Moments of Connection
Get your players to drive the first day experience.
As coaches, we have to develop empathy in our athlete. We have to help them develop that skill.
3 questions you can ask your returning players - What was your first day like? What did you feel, what were you thinking? - What do you want the first day experience to be like for the new players coming in? - What can you and your teammates do to create that positive experience?
No only should be make an athletes entrance into our program special, but we should equally make important their departure.

What is the right strategy for our team culture?
Get the weekly podcast coaching notes by going to thriveonchallenge.com and subscribing to the weekly newsletter!
What are some questions that you use with coaches that help them solidify their identity and the identity of their program? - How do YOU want your teams to play in a perfect world? - What would that look like and describe it to me - What do I enjoy watching and coaching? - Encourage them to think less about the players and think more about how they want to play - Be more proactive than reactive
The style of play can actually help us build that player-led culture. - Encourage a more decision-based offense approach than strict play guidelines. - When athletes make decisions instead of just complying, they gain sport knowledge and understand the game better - Players have to understand the game in order for it to be their game
What is the hardest part of this process? - Deleting things that don’t fit your program framework and mindset - The hardest part is being consistent and sticking to that process even if it means losing in the short-term

It’s so easy to worry about you wins and losses record, but the MOST important thing to ask yourself as a coach is, “How am I developing these players? Are they leaving my program better than when they came in?”
Get the weekly podcast coaching notes by going to thriveonchallenge.com and subscribing to the weekly newsletter!
Biggest challenge to overcome: - How am I going to measure success if not by the scoreboard?
What were some of the resistances you may face when you transition from being a transactional leader to a transformational leader? - Mindset shift for not only yourself, but for your coaching staff and athletes as well - Sometimes athletes want a transactional coach - Parents may criticize the coach because the coach has a more athlete-centered approach
Transformational coaching is being willing to sacrifice short term gain such as positive stats for long term growth.
Transformational coaching doesn’t mean losing intensity, it just means doing away with the unnecessary yelling and screaming.

Nate shares how one player on his team went from letting nerves get to her to helping the team win the state championship with her at the free throw line.
How do you get your athletes to become self-aware of their responses to their mistakes?
- Ask them to write down how you think teammates, coaches, parents, and people in the stands will respond to the mistakes you make in a game.
- Ask them to write about which category’s thoughts would affect them the most.
- Discuss how as a team, you can help each player through their mistakes.
When someone makes a mistake, it is a race to go to them and reinforce that you still trust them and believe in them as a teammate. Cut out saying, “my bad” to help stop the negative self-talk.

Top three reasons athletes play: - Positive Coaching - Positive Team Dynamics - Trying Hard (Good Practice/Game Environments)
You’re not missing the magic practice.
If you continually focus on building the relationship up with the parents and keep them in the loop and work hard to notice when a kid is making improvement or struggle, the relationship will more likely than not, be positive.
It’s easy to see parents’ involvement as a problem instead of an opportunity to help both the kid and the team culture.
Advice for Coaches when you’re trying to build trust in your athletes and their parents: - First, understand trust and what it looks like
Ken Blanchard’s ABCDE’s on Trust - Ability - Being Believable - Connection - Dependable
What gives you the most hope for sports in the future in the United States? - We have so many kids playing, we have more chances to do it right. - We have more and better ways to deliver coaching training and education

Nate shares how he dealt with the struggle of having athletes quit and what approach he took regarding the rest of the team, emotionally and tactically.
When you have players leaving the team, it is important to have your captains or leaders on the team share why they stayed and reaffirm that frustrations with yourself and coach are valid, but how important it is to stick with it.
The struggle of learning how to win. - Change the mindset from results focus to process focused - Pay attention to the details - Set small, details goals in practice - Drill down to the behaviors that will make you better
Setting goals and drilling in the details gives your athletes the confidence to take their game to the next level.
What’s the best thing added to their process this year? - Intentionality with which the coaches met with their players.

In our latest #CoachingCulture episode, Nate and I finish up our conversation with Mark Bennett on the leisure versus performance athlete.
Get the weekly podcast coaching notes by going to thriveonchallenge.com and subscribing to the weekly newsletter!
Performance Athlete: Not doing what you want to do, doing what you need to do to the best of your ability to achieve what you have said is your desired outcome.
Leisure: Only do the stuff they like when nobody is watching. When someone is watching them they will do the things expected of them. Still pursues excellence in the practice.
Mark shares how to effectively coach the leisure athlete and help them become the best athlete they possibly can be. Instead of being pushy and trying to get them to become someone they’re not, as coaches it is our job to show them their potential and allow them to reach it themselves.
When you have a mix between performance and leisure:
Ask leisure: What can we do to help performance athletes and still enjoy our experience? We don’t want to hold anybody back.
Ask performance: What can we do to help the leisure athletes enjoy their experience and not hold ourselves back?
Leisure still pursues excellence in the practice.

What activities can we do at our banquet that add meaning to the season and allow parents and athletes to appreciate that at the end of the year? - Limit the amount you talk as a coach - Allow your athletes and assistant coaches to give out the awards - Have your athletes give reasons why other players deserve certain awards.
What is it that you really want people to take away from your speech?
Highlight the fact that as a coach, you know that every one of your players is going to go through something during this year, but the benefit of being a part of YOUR program is that you all will go through it together and you will come out better on the other side of it.
Embrace the end of year banquet.
Create an experience that is full of meaning.

In our latest #CoachingCulture episode, Nate and I are bringing you part 3 continuing our conversation with Mark Bennett on the Rule of 3.
Get the weekly podcast coaching notes by going to thriveonchallenge.com and subscribing to the weekly newsletter!
Rule of 3
Rule 1: Self (Behavior 1st, than technical and tactical) - Am I managing my state? - Am I in excellence?
Rule 2: Player - Reaching out to have a positive impact on that player. - Effective communication is only effective if it has the desired impact.
Rule 3: Coach -Coach steps in because no 2 has stepped in to work with 1. Or they have stepped in but 1 still isn’t changing.
Teach your athletes how to give and receive feedback well. Set up a time to formally give permission to intervene.
The formal permission process allows your athletes the freedom to grow in that way.

We’re bringing you Part 2 of our conversation with Mark Bennett on how performance is a behavior, not an outcome.
Get the weekly podcast coaching notes by going to thriveonchallenge.com and subscribing to the weekly newsletter!
The sequence to effective outcomes in behavior first, then performance, then outcome.
As a team, it’s important to come up with non-negotiables.
What are the one of two things that if done well, would maximize your performance?
Ask your athletes to look into the past and notice what elements were in play during their performance excellence. - Name the underpinning element - Think and reflect on past experiences - Define what they look like - Choose the element that had the greatest impact - Name it and work on that element as a team
Examples of Non-negotiables: ACE - Attitude - Communicate - Effort
UAE- (Unacceptable , Acceptable, Exceptional)
When you start an interaction between a new group of players, first set the parameters down.

In today’s episode, Nate and I discuss sideline behavior.
JP shares his transformation in coaching and his understanding of what sideline behavior should be like.
How do you recognize what your sideline behavior is like now? - Put a camera and mic on yourself, record how you act during a game, and then go back and watch that footage - ask yourself if your words are making the team better or making the team worse
Are you an obstacle, or are you a source for growth? - Ask your players what it’s like to be coached by you
Know what you value as a coach. You have to be able to model what you value and react to circumstances in that way instead of reacting emotionally.
What are you teaching your kids in moments of triumph and moments of struggle?
You cannot be a transformation coach when you operate with you use anger and fear as a motivator.
Empower a few of your assistants and players to tell you when you are flying off the handle or handling a situation poorly.

In today's episode, I am super excited to bring Mark Bennett to the Coaching Culture podcast, talking about coaching systems and how to effectively run them.
Mark has been leading others for over 30 years, starting out serving in the British Army as an instructor and since then, he has worked in English Basketball, English Soccer, and English Rugby, as well as the Cleveland Indians and Oklahoma City Thunder in the US.
Mark begs a very important questions, "How aware are the coaches of what they're doing and what they're not?" and "What support mechanisms are in place to raise awareness to a coach of what they're doing and then support them in that change?" - He suggests that coaches film themselves and go back and look through how they reacted to and coached up their athletes- - The aim of a great coach should be to make themselves redundant - Coaching vs. Instructing
As a coach, you are investing in the human being, not just "your athlete" because it is the human being that makes the decisions and has the confidence to commit to things.

Get the weekly podcast coaching notes by going to thriveonchallenge.com and subscribing to the weekly newsletter! @jpnerbun @CoachNSanderson jpnerbun@thriveonchallenge.com Nate_S@BreakthroughBasketball.com
JP and Nate beg a very common question we have as coaches, “How do I get my players to accept and embrace their role on the team?”
The first step in this process is making sure that every player on the team knows each job and the importance of each role in overall team success.
How to help an athlete understand their role: - Have the “ladder conversation” - Discuss the overall strategy of the game before the day of the game - Have you athletes explain what they are most looking forward to in their job and what they think will be really hard about their job - Vulnerability allows your athletes to realize they are not the only one who feels pressure in their role - It is critical to have ongoing conversations with your players about their role
How do you approach promotions and playing time? - Athletes have to prove to their current boss that they are ready for the next level - Give them 2 or 3 measurable commitments

Coach Kurt Hines joins us today on the podcast sharing some of his favorite and most successful culture building lessons.
As a coach, it’s important to be authentic with our players, and even more important than that, focusing on our why and reevaluating our driving factor for coaching athletes every day.
Coach makes the distinction between fear and respect and gives us examples of what to do and what not to do!
As a coach, how do you start a great culture? • People, people, people!! • Love people and they aren’t part of an agenda for your own success.
What should you do in your 1st Coach Staff Meeting? • Share your “Why” • What do you want to hold on to from the previous culture?
How do you connect with your athletes? • Intentionally teach and use the word “love”. • Be mindful of your ACTIONS. (Actions affect their perception of your more than your words!!) • Communicate that our love is not dependent on their ability.
Possibly one of the most important takeaways, which will drive you towards both success in the game and in life is be true to yourself and others.
We cannot substitute a strategy of behavior for a needed change in our way of being towards others.
“My goal isn’t to get rings, it’s to change lives.”
Keys to Maintaining Strong Relationships with Players on a Large Team: • Workout with players… • Asking questions about their lives and family. • Look for non-verbal cues to detect- challenges and struggles in their lives. • Not always going to be with you and the player- facilitate relationships with other coaches and players. • Intentionally help leaders to reach out to certain players. Small group workouts.

How do you create an intrinsically motivated environment? Starts with autonomy and continues with mastery. In this episode I present some very practical ways for us to create this environment within our teams.
The research and experience behind using goals, rewards, and punishment to motivate. Extrinsically motivated environments are harmful!
We must keep our baseline rewards as something that must be earned, not a privilege.
When we do punish or reward we need to be very careful!
“When it comes to motivation, there’s a gap between what science knows and what business does. carrot-and-stick motivators—doesn’t work and often does harm. We need an upgrade. And the science shows the way. This new approach has three essential elements: (1) Autonomy (2) Mastery (3) Purpose”
Coach Rick Stevenson shares his experience of two transformational activities he did with the parents and his players. 1. Invite them to practice with the team. 2. Invite them into the locker room after a game.
Applying one of my top books of 2017 to coaching... Essentialism by Greg McKeown What is it? How it applies? How to decipher and execute what is essential?

What are we willing to be bad at? 5. What do we want to be great at? (Known for) The best teams are 1 sentence teams! 6. Are we trying to fit players into our system or are we trying to create a system that fits our players? 7. How can we maximize the strengths of our personal and our team?

Special Guest Nate Sanderson is a State Championship Coach in Iowa and works as the Director of Product Development at Breakthrough Basketball. More importantly, Nate puts character first in coaching and is intentional in everything he does on and off the court.
In part 1, Nate discusses: 1. The problems of a “dealing with parents” mentality 2. A special parent meeting format to start “working with parents” 3. Opening lines of communication 4. Shaping parent expectations 5. Setting some boundaries
What are your non-negotiables as a coach? We can do a lot to empower those we lead by having them set standards for the team, but we still need to have some of our own standards. Can you enforce those rules out of love and without judgment of the person?
Coaches do you value your values? Who we select for the team, who we recruit, and who we play says a lot about what we value. Are we reinforcing our core values as a coach? Or are we just committed to getting the result we want in the next game?
Episode 8 provides examples of some special ways to develop leaders and tap into the intrinsic motivation of the team by giving them a voice!
Running sprints and other conditioning are GOOD things. When we use them as punishment, we make them BAD things! Episode 7 discusses the damaging consequences of using conditioning as punishment and beneficial ways to condition in a practice setting.
The differences are subtle in using boundaries and consequences instead of rules and punishment, but the impact is transformational in the culture and character development of those we lead. When we fail to use boundaries and consequences we nurture a sense of entitlement and allow other people's problems to become our problems.
J.P. Nerbun speaks with Mike Neighbors on the transformation from results focused to process focused and how the team literally burned their goals at Washington. Coach Neighbors is a NCAA Final Four basketball coach and now the current women's coach at Arkansas. While his winning record is impressive, he is an even more impressive coach due to his willingness to share with others and the transformational program he built at Washington.
One of the best mental training tools out there is a journaling activity like a success log or a what went well journal. We need to retrain the mind and share our positive mental attitude with those we lead. We need to help them focus on the controllables. What journaling activities have you found to be beneficial?
What benefits have you seen from reading as a team and what are your top books? Episode 3 discusses the benefits and the logistics behind reading together as a team!
