  Episode #196: Mike Klinzing on Recruiting

  Sep 21, 202637 minS4

  What happens when a coach becomes the parent of a college recruit? Mike Klinzing, Co-Host of the Hoop Heads Podcast , returns for Part II of The Significant Coaching Podcast to talk about navigating college recruiting with his own son—and how different the process looks when it’s your own kid. Mike and Matt discuss realistically evaluating an athlete’s ability, identifying the right level, separating the role of coach from the role of parent, communicating with college coaches, and keeping the student-athlete at the center of the decision. Having experienced college athletics as a Division I player, coach, and now recruiting parent, Mike offers a unique perspective on what families can learn from the process—and why finding the right fit matters more than chasing a particular level. ️ The Significant Coaching Podcast | Episode 196 Listen at CoachMattRogers.com/podcast .

  Episode #194: Be Where Your Feet Are

  Sep 13, 202619 minS4

  “Be where your feet are.” Five simple words that led me somewhere I didn’t expect. In Episode 194 of The Significant Coaching Podcast , I explore four different ways to think about this simple mantra: be where you are, own where you are, be with the people who are there, and understand where their feet are. For athletes, recruits, parents, coaches and leaders, being present is important—but presence is only part of it. Sometimes we need enough humility to step outside our own experiences and understand what the world looks like from where someone else is standing. Because being true to yourself is conviction. But believing everyone should see the world the way you do? Sometimes that’s ego. ️ The Significant Coaching Podcast | Episode 194 CoachMattRogers.com Send us Fan Mail Significant Recruiting Resources — Take the guesswork out of college recruiting with Significant Recruiting: The Playbook for Prospective College Athletes , sport-specific Recruit’s Journals , and the Significant Recruiting Launchpad .

  Episode #192: Keirsten Sires on Recruiting

  Sep 6, 202631 minS4

  Episode #192 — Keirsten Sires, Part 2 Getting recruited is one thing. Choosing the right college, coach, and program is something entirely different. In Part 2 of my conversation with Keirsten Sires, Founder and CEO of 2aDays , we dig into the research every prospective college athlete and family should be doing before making one of the biggest decisions of their lives. We talk about looking beyond the recruiting pitch—researching coaches, understanding roster dynamics, evaluating academics and career opportunities, and learning from the experiences of former student-athletes. Keirsten also shares how 2aDays is helping families gain greater transparency into college programs and make more informed recruiting decisions. “Leave your ego at the door. Blinders on. Focus on you.” That may be one of the most important reminders in the entire recruiting process. This decision isn’t about where your teammates are committing, what looks best on social media, or impressing everyone else. It’s about finding the right fit for you.

  Episode #191: Keirsten Sires

  Episode #191: Keirsten Sires of 2aDays — Giving Student-Athletes a Voice What if giving student-athletes a voice could actually make college coaches and athletic programs better? In Part One of my conversation with Keirsten Sires, Founder and CEO of 2aDays , we explore the idea behind a platform that allows student-athletes to review coaches while giving recruits and families a window into the programs they’re considering. I’ll admit—I came into this conversation skeptical. But Keirsten challenged the way I looked at coach ratings, transparency, accountability, and the opportunity for great coaches and programs to tell their stories. We discuss what student-athletes are saying about their coaches, what separates positive experiences from negative ones, how colleges can better evaluate and support coaches, and why transparency doesn’t have to be something coaches fear. If you’re a college coach, athletic administrator, student-athlete, or parent navigating college athletics, Episode #191 is a conversation worth hearing. ️ The Significant Coaching Podcast with Matt Rogers Send us Fan Mail Significant Recruiting Resources — Take the guesswork out of college recruiting with Significant Recruiting: The Playbook for Prospective College Athletes , sport-specific Recruit’s Journals , and the Significant Recruiting Launchpad .
