Love In Basketball

Adam is here today with a programming update.We had taken some time away from producing episodes of the podcast in April and May. We used this time for restoration, recording conversations with guests, and improving the podcast. A couple big life transitions took place for Adam during this time as well, and some time away from the podcast helped to give him a bit more space.While we returned in June with three profound conversations, some of those transitions are still taking place for Adam. And it's made producing episodes in a way that provides a fuller picture and deeper understandings of servant-leadership, a bit more difficult. So we're taking a step back again to provide a bit more grace and ensure each episode is of the quality we're wanting.We'll return as soon as we're able. Our first episode back will be a solo episode exploring Adult Human Development Models and Servant-Leadership.In the meantime, we encourage you to explore our previous episodes. Catch up on the conversations you haven't yet listened to, or maybe even revisit the episodes you have. And if you're new to the podcast, our foundational episode, 1. What Is Servant-Leadership?, offers a great place to begin. And we have some really impactful episodes already recorded that will be coming up here soon. Each conversation features deeper understandings and actionable insights to support you on your journey towards becoming a servant-leader.Thank you for your grace, patience, and understanding during this time. We're so excited to continue to explore servant-leadership and share Love In Basketball with you.

This episode is a conversation with Chris Acker. I found this to be a conversation filled with partnership. Coach Acker explores what it looks like for him to walk alongside, and partner with the student-athletes he serves to support the achievement of their goals, a collective effort, and build community, rather than imposing coach-led goals that resulted in the diminishment of others previously in his career. Along the way, he explores cultivating an awareness of others' needs, listening well vs. listening poorly, and why the best ability might be availability.Chris Acker is an Assistant Men's Basketball Coach at San Diego State University. Coach Acker has been an assistant coach for the Aztecs for two seasons, and is recognized as a top-five assistant coach in the Mountain West Conference by his peers. San Diego State is coming off a Mountain West Conference championship, and a trip to the NCAA tournament.

This episode is a conversation with R-Jay Barsh. I found this to be a conversation filled with generous silence. Coach Barsh explores his journey of listening to his own heart and own mind through silence and challenge, to ground and center in his gifts rather than chasing the perceptions of others. Along the way he highlights the power of feedback loops, laying your arrogance down, and empathetic listening.R-Jay Barsh is an Assistant Men's Basketball Coach at Boise State University.

This episode is a conversation with Robert Lucero. I found this to be a conversation filled with empathy. Coach Lucero explores some of the ways he routinely takes the perspectives of those he serves, both his staff and his student-athletes, while reflecting on how ego, an inward mindset, and maybe lack of empathy might have resulted in a bit more diminishment of others previously in his career. Along the way, he highlights honest and loving communication, building community or giving others a place to belong, and serving first.Robert Lucero is the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Westlake High School in Austin, TX.

This episode is a conversation with Rick Croy. I found this to be a conversation filled with healing, and exploring the healing potential of servant-leadership for ourselves and others. Coach Croy explores his recognition of the opportunity to help make whole those with whom he comes into contact, using healing in leadership as a force for transformation and integration. Along the way, he highlights creating an environment that allows for others to share, listening without trying to fix, and shifting focus from the career and professional hunt towards greater service to others.Rick Croy is the Head Men's Basketball Coach at California Baptist University.

This episode is a conversation with Josh Prock. I found this to be a conversation filled with courage, that shows up as open and honest communication. Coach Prock explores his journey of opening up to feedback from others as a way of moving towards greater service to others. Along the way, he highlights the power of mutual trust and feedback, and listening first as a pathway to serving first.Josh Prock is the Head Women's Basketball Coach at Eastern New Mexico University. Coach Prock enters his 8th season as head coach of the Greyhounds. His tenure at Eastern New Mexico features 3 NCAA tournament appearances in the last 4 seasons of competition, including the first tournament berth in school history, a Lone Star Conference championship, and Conference Coach of the Year honors in the 2016-17 season.

This episode is a solo episode, exploring the connection of Emotional Intelligence and Servant-Leadership.In this episode, we break down some popular misconceptions of emotional intelligence, move towards deeper understandings of the term, and explore how fostering greater emotional intelligence might allow us to more greatly fulfill the Best Test of Servant-Leadership.Robert Greenleaf's Best Test of Servant-Leadership asks: “Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And what is the effect on the least privileged in society? Will they benefit, or at least not be further deprived?”I hope you leave today's episode with some additional characteristics of what servant-leadership might look like, and how those characteristics might be actualized out in the world and developed through fostering greater emotional intelligence.Further Reading:Emotional Intelligence by Daniel GolemanThe EQ Edge by Steven Stein and Howard BookLeadership Reckoning by Thomas Kolditz, Libby Gill, and Ryan BrownPracticing Servant Leadership, edited by Larry Spears and Michele Lawrence"What Makes A Leader?" by Daniel Goleman"Leadership That Gets Results" by Daniel Goleman"The Boss Factor" by Terra Allas and Bill Schaninger"What Matters More For Entrepreneurship Success?" by Jared Allen, Regan Stevenson, Ernest O'Boyle, Scott SeibertMan's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankladamgcoaching.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-gierlach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/adamgierlachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/adam.gierlach/

This episode is a conversation with Shann Ray Ferch. I found this to be a conversation filled with kindness and healing.

This episode is a conversation with Brent Scott. I found this to be a conversation filled with gratitude. Coach Scott expresses immense gratitude for the individuals who served him along his path, and highlights his journey of helping others move forward as a way of honoring those who served him. Along the way, he highlights the role of setbacks in beginning the inner journey of servant-leadership, the power of the “softer side,” and using one's gifts to help others believe in themselves.Brent Scott is an Assistant Men's Basketball Coach at Virginia Commonwealth University, otherwise known as VCU.

This episode is a conversation with Frank Allocco, Sr. I found this to be a conversation filled with wisdom. Coach Allocco highlights that self-knowledge often allows us to cultivate larger purpose in work and life, that helps move towards greater definitions of success and service to others. He also explores cultivating a shared vision, and the power of elevating and valuing others as a reflection of their inherent importance.Frank Allocco Sr. is the Executive Senior Athletic Director for External Relations at the University of San Francisco.

This episode is a conversation with Carlin Hartman. I found this to be a conversation filled with sincerity and genuineness.

These were people who leave behind a legacy of service to others, with countless lives positively impacted through care, kindness, humility, and love.

This episode is a conversation with Charli Turner Thorne. I found this to be a conversation filled with strength and care. Coach Turner Thorne explores the traps of a results-orientation, how this may block servant-leadership, and some of what she calls a lost perspective that led her to take a sabbatical in the middle of her tenure at ASU, and discover greater purpose in her work and life. She also highlights the differences between accountability and shame, blame, and judgment, and the power of a joyful spirit and self-compassion.Charli Turner Thorne is the Head Women's Basketball Coach at Arizona State University.

This episode is a conversation with Charles Ament. I found this to be a conversation filled with genuine reflection. Coach Ament wrestles with servant-leadership as continual growth and struggle, that it is something we are always in training to become, and probes for deeper understandings throughout our conversation. He also highlights that service to others is often an outgrowth of developing greater purpose, the power of humility and vulnerability in relationships, and the power of asking great questions, questions that provide an opportunity for others to learn more about themselves.Charles Ament is the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Langham Creek High School in Houston, TX.

This episode is a conversation with Benjamin Sanders. I found this to be a conversation filled with openness. Coach Sanders' experience at the collegiate and professional levels have exposed him to many different forms of leadership. Our conversations so far have mostly centered around an individual servant-leader. And in this conversation, we hear Coach Sanders' perspective of having also received more diminishing forms of leadership, from ego-driven leaders. He highlights that we help others to be servant-leaders by being servant-leaders ourselves, and that his shift from an inward focus and self-preservation to servant-leadership came in part from the empowerment and servant-leadership he received from others. He also highlights the power of humility, genuine communication, and finding joy in the successes of others.Coach Sanders is the Video Coordinator for the Long Island Nets, the Brooklyn Nets G-League Affiliate. Coach Sanders has extensive G-League experience, having also previously served on the staffs of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, and the Windy City Bulls, including serving as an assistant coach with Windy City last season.

This episode is a conversation with Gus Argenal. I found this to be a conversation filled with vulnerability. Those who know Coach Argenal tend to associate him with energy and spirit, and in this conversation he illuminated where that spirit comes from. He highlights that it comes from not a place of false positivity but from a depth of self-regard and self-knowledge, where he learned about himself doing tough times, that brought greater clarity to his purpose of serving others. He also explores more creative ways of learning about others, the power of listening, and returning with humility to the relationship.Gus Argenal is the Associate Head Men's Basketball Coach at Cal State Fullerton, where he's in his second season with the Titans, and 17th year coaching in the collegiate ranks. Prior to Cal State Fullerton, Coach Argenal served as an assistant coach and then associate head coach at Nevada.

Coach Argenal also previously served as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Cal State East Bay.adamgcoaching.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-gierlach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/adamgierlachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/adam.gierlach/

This episode is a conversation with Jason Burton. I found this to be a conversation filled with grace and strength. Jason Burton and his program underwent true heartbreak in his first season as head coach at Texas A&M-Commerce, with two student-athletes, Aubree Butts and Devin Oliver being killed in a car accident. Coach Burton shares his story of heartbreak and loss in moving towards greater ways of serving and being with each other. Along the way, he explores what it means to invest in people, combining support and challenge, and the power of a hug.Jason Burton is the Head Women's Basketball Coach at Texas A&M-Commerce, where he's entering his 7th season as head coach of the Lions. Coach Burton is coming off the most successful season of his tenure, which featured a 28-3 record, conference coach of the year honors, qualifying for the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row, and becoming the winningest coach in school history.Just as Willis Wilson helped to inspire this podcast for me, so too did Coach Burton. His openness in use of words like love, heart, and listening as core concepts to his leadership jumped out at and resonated with me. He was open about this vision for leadership and servant-leadership in a way I hadn't heard before in college basketball. And after connecting with him further, I felt that others might be able to benefit from a similar dialogue.Further Reading:Lead...for God's Sake! by Todd GongwerSoup by Jon GordonThe Power of a Positive Team by Jon GordonThe Energy Bus by Jon GordonMy Life With Martin Luther King, Jr. by Coretta Scott King (features a section on agape)adamgcoaching.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-gierlach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/adamgierlachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/adam.gierlach/

This episode is a conversation with Willis Wilson. I found this to be an inspiring dialogue, filled with powerful insights on the power of activating moments, the difference between a basketball coach and a leader who coaches basketball, and empathy, understanding, and forgiveness.Willis Wilson is the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, where he's entering his 10th season as head coach of the Islanders. His tenure at Corpus Christi features 3, 20-win seasons, and 4 postseason appearances. Coach Wilson was also previously the head coach at Rice University in Houston, TX. He served as the head coach at Rice, his alma mater, for 16 seasons, and is the winningest coach in school history. Coach Wilson helped to inspire this podcast for me. Through my connection with the Rice basketball family, Coach Wilson and I have shared several powerful conversations such as this one over the past several months. And I couldn't help but think that others might be able to benefit from conversations such as this as well.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Love In Basketball podcast! In this solo episode, I seek to provide a foundation for what servant-leadership is, what it entails, and why it's important.I cover some of the myths of servant-leadership, Robert Greenleaf's foundational definition for the servant-leader and his Best Test, in addition to the human development models and larger shifts in consciousness and awareness of servant-leadership. I also cover a variety of examples and research for why it's important to concern ourselves with servant-leadership. Service to others first truly makes great work, creating the results we truly desire, and fulfilling our highest potentials possible. And of course, I touch on the importance of love for the servant-leader.Further Reading:Servant Leadership by Robert GreenleafServant-Leaders in Training by John HorsmanThe Power of Servant Leadership by Robert Greenleaf, edited by Larry SpearsImmunity to Change by Lisa Lahey and Robert KeganThe Outward Mindset by The Arbinger InstituteLeadership That Gets Results by Daniel GolemanEmotional Intelligence by Daniel GolemanThe EQ Edge by Steven Stein and Howard BookGallup poll on workplace engagementadamgcoaching.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-gierlach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/adamgierlachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/adam.gierlach/
