This week Coach Brendan Suhr is joined by Scott Davenport, Bellarmine head coach... Scott Davenport is a legend in coaching who has amassed multiple national coach of the year honors and also led the Bellarmine Knights to the 2011 NCAA Division II Tournament national championship. His career record of 398-130 (through the 2021-22 season) ranks him as Bellarmine's all-time winningest coach both in terms of total wins and winning percentage (.754). While Davenport built Bellarmine's program in a perennial national power at the Division II level, perhaps even more impressively, the Knights have continued to succeed in its recent transition to the NCAA Division I level. This past season (2021-22), Bellarmine posted a 20-win season in just its second year in Division I, finishing 20-13 while playing one of the nation's toughest schedules. In recognition of his team's success, Davenport was nominated for the Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year Award, which recognizes coaches from mid-major conferences. The Knights capped their 2021-22 season by winning the ASUN Conference Championship title, hosting the championship game in Freedom Hall in front of the second-biggest crowd in the history of the ASUN Tournament. The victory sparked a national debate on the NCAA rule mandating that schools must wait four years to be eligible for NCAA postseason play following their transition to Division I. (Had Bellarmine not still been in its four-year transition period, the ASUN Championship would have punched the Knights' ticket to the NCAA tournament.) In this episode, Coach Davenport takes you through the program's transition to Division 1, how the game of basketball has the power to bring everyone together, why he coaches, what he has learned from the coaches he worked under before becoming a head coach, why he believes in having a program instead of a culture, his reasons for scheduling the way he does in non-conference, and the ins and outs of his style of play.

She is a former NCAA coach and corporate sales consultant who now delivers keynotes and workshops to many of the top companies and college sports teams in the country.

In the fable, a soccer coach tells his players about the adventures of "the new kid" at school who's afraid of being teased and bullied. Through the help of a special teacher, he and his classmates learn to overcome challenges and harness the power of seeking to understand new perspectives and viewpoints. The class experiences the power of connection inside the activities during puzzle week, and along with their new student, finds the confidence to embrace their new student, finds the confidence to embrace their unique traits and appreciate and celebrate the uniqueness in each other. It's an eye-opening and thought-provoking journey through difference, selk-acceptance, and understanding, Superpower shows us how to impact the world for good using our very own, built-in superpowers.
