Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Courtney

The Duke Blue Devils are back on the road, this time on a trip to take on the Miami Hurricanes. We preview tomorrow's game on DBR Bites #94. Before the game preview of the team that we've seen before, we heard from Coach Jon Scheyer on the rumors linking Jai Lucas to the Miami head coaching job. Donald was able to get some info from the weekly ACC press conference, so you won't want to miss what Scheyer had to say. We then get into previewing the Canes, who are the worst team in the ACC. Still it's a game that Duke wants to win to keep their momentum going. We'll also hear from Miami interim coach Bill Courtney about some of his lineup rotations and what he thinks the Canes need to do in order to beat Duke. Make sure you're following us!

The Duke Blue Devils absolutely took the wind out of the Miami Hurricanes in a 89-54 beatdown on Tuesday night. Scott Rich joins us to discuss it all on Episode 683! It's Jason's birthday (happy birthday Jason!) so he's only on for a few minutes at the beginning to discuss Caleb Foster's really good game as well as how bad the Miami defense was in letting Duke get any shot it wanted. After he departs, Donald and Scott go through the rest of the good, from Kon Knueppel's career day in points to Khaman Maluach's 15 rebounds to the great games from Mason Gillis, Patrick Ngongba, and the rest of the bench. The defense was there, the shooting was there, and Bill Courtney and the Canes just didn't have the pace to keep up with the Blue Devils. After the break, it was as close to a full 40 minute performance as we've seen from Duke, but there were still some details to clean up from this game. Scott and Donald get into it and then they go to Play of the Game, where they both take different perspectives of the same thunderous alley oop from Maluach. Make sure you're following us!

Bill Courtney is an accomplished businessman, speaker, award winning film subject and writer, and the founder of Classic American Hardwoods, Inc., a company that employs 120 people with a 45 acre manufacturing facility and domestic sales offices boasting in excess of $45 million in annual sales. He is also a nationally recognized and sought-after speaker keynoting at a variety of venues from the Para Olympics in Colorado Springs to Nike, Frito Lay, FedEx, and other nationally recognized companies. In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, Bill Courtney shares his three rules when it comes to playing time and dealing with helicopter parents. He emphasizes that asking to play won't guarantee more playing time and encourages parents to have conversations off the field about anything other than playing time. Coach Bill Courtney also opens up about his challenging upbringing, including the absence of his father and the traumatic experiences he faced growing up. Bill Courtney grew up in a broken home, with his parents divorcing when he was just four years old. His father passed away recently, and he had no relationship with him. His mother, on the other hand, was married and divorced five times, exposing him to various father figures who were often worse than his absent father. This lack of stability and constant changes in his family structure undoubtedly had a profound impact on his childhood. Childhood trauma can have long-lasting effects on individuals, often leading to negative outcomes. However, it is essential to recognize that resilience can be fostered even in the face of adversity. Bill's story serves as an inspiration, showing that it is possible to rise above one's circumstances and build a successful and fulfilling life. This conversation highlights Bill's journey from a childhood filled with dysfunction and trauma to becoming a resilient and successful individual. His ability to forgive, excel in sports, and find healing demonstrates the impact of childhood trauma on shaping resilience. This story serves as a reminder that resilience can be cultivated, even in the face of significant challenges, and that childhood trauma does not have to define a person's future. The choice to be a rock, as advocated by Coach Spain, empowers individuals to rise above their circumstances and become symbols of strength and resilience. www.thedadedge.com/friday130 1stphorm.com/dadedge www.normalfolks.us www.coachbillcourtney.com  

"DON'T BE A TURKEY PERSON" "We had to coach basic fundamentals like character. But half the team was still engaged in the same destructive behavior that got them to 4-95. So I went to my player Bo Bo, asking him why these kids weren't buying into the important stuff. Bobo said, 'Coach, they're trying to figure out if you're a Turkey Person or not.' And I said, 'Bo Bo, what the hell is a Turkey Person?' He's like, "Coach, every Thanksgiving, people give us turkeys and we take them because we got none. But then they leave and we never see them again. And it kind of makes you wonder if they're doing that because they really care about us or if they're doing that to make themselves feel good. He looked me dead in the eyes and said, Coach, what the hell are you really doing here, man?' And what a Turkey Person is, is a fraud. And I can say that to you, because I was one. An Army of Normal Folks is launching a campaign called "Don't Be A Turkey Person" to challenge all of us this Thanksgiving, and it isn't about not eating turkey. Not long after the Turkey Person story and the front page of the newspaper had a picture of me, my son said, 'Hey Dad, what are your players' names?' An eight year old boy shocked me. He revealed that I'd been telling everybody everything I was doing, but people didn't even know the kids' names who were actually doing the work. I reversed course immediately and gave them credit. And this crazy thing happened, the kids started buying in. We need to create An Army of Normal Folks, not Turkey Persons, who fill areas of need, for the right reasons. And if we did that, we literally can change this country. And that's a lesson that was taught to me by a 17-year-old kid."

Coach Bill Courtney is a man of faith who understands the trauma that rampant fatherlessness is causing in many of our inner cities. Coach Courtney didn't have relationship with his father, and that helped him relate to the fatherless football players he coached as a volunteer in Memphis' inner-city (as seen in the Oscar-winning documentary- Undefeated). Coach Courtney is the founder of An Army of Normal Folks, and the host of a podcast with the same name – where he serves, works with, talks about, and shares stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Coach has been married to his wife Lisa for over 30 years, and they have 4 children. I invited to Coach on the show today chop it up with him, to talk about fatherlessness, what he's learned as a coach coaching fatherless boys, his organization, and the work they do with young men.

ABOUT COACH BILL COURTNEY AND AN ARMY OF NORMAL FOLKS Coach Bill Courtney of Oscar-Winning Undefeated launches 'An Army of Normal Folks' Movement and podcast empower Americans to change our country by 'each of us doing what we can. Business leader and football coach Bill Courtney joins with other "ordinary" Americans doing extraordinary work to solve our nation's problems through the new movement, An Army of Normal Folks. "Our country's problems will never be solved by a bunch of fancy people in nice suits talking big words in Washington, but by An Army of Normal Folks just deciding 'hey, I can help,'" said Courtney. Based on his own example, Courtney is joining with the nonprofit Iron Light Labs to launch An Army of Normal Folks. Founder of Classic American Hardwoods, Inc., in 2003, he became a volunteer football coach in America's third poorest zip code and yet 31 out of 32 seniors in his last two seasons went to college. Their success on and off the field was the subject of the documentary film, Undefeated, which won an Academy Award in 2012. "We believe that everyone has the power to create change, no matter how 'ordinary' they or their actions may seem," said Courtney. "And if there's An Army of Normal Folks just doing what we can, imagine how different our country could be." As part of the movement, Courtney hosts the iHeartMedia podcast An Army of Normal Folks. iHeartMedia is the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac. The podcast features interviews with members of the Army such as Arkansas Police Officer Tommy Norman and Back on My Feet Founder Anne Mahlum. It aims to inspire listeners and present fascinating models that can be replicated in their own communities. All individuals are invited to join An Army of Normal Folks. AN ARMY OF NORMAL FOLKS - BACKGROUNDAmerica is at a crossroads.While still having an enviable position in the 21st century, we also suffer from deep divisions, both perceived and very real. From politics and culture to race and religion, Americans seem to disagree on almost everything.These challenges are complex and multifaceted. And they're not being solved by politicians. Instead, the greatest power lies in the hands of ordinary citizens doing what they can in their own communities. And if each of us does this, just imagine how different our country could be.Our solution is An Army of Normal Folks.A grassroots movement led by Coach Bill Courtney, former volunteer football coach of Manassas High School and the subject of the 2012 Academy Award-winning documentary Undefeated, An Army of Normal Folks brings together Americans of all stripes committed to "doing what we can." Bill and his fellow changemakers believe that by taking action in ordinary but meaningful ways, such as volunteering, donating, and changing even only one other person's life, An Army of Normal Folks can make all of the difference. This is how America can overcome its problems: one life and one community at a time.Featuring stories of ordinary folks overcoming life's obstacles and their own demons to make an extraordinary difference, the "An Army of Normal Folks" podcast provides a rallying cry for every individual to join a movement that can change the country. The iHeart Radio podcast, which is hosted by Courtney, launched in May 2023 and delivers much-needed inspirational, redemptive, and unifying content.

(BILL) COURTNEY BIOWilliam B. Courtney (Bill), a native Memphian, launched An Army of Normal Folks in 2023 on the belief that if each of us just does what we can in our own communities, we can change the country. Bill doesn't just "talk the talk;" he knows this sentiment to be true. A successful business owner, Bill founded Classic American Hardwoods, Inc. in 2001. He continues to operate the company, which today employs 140 people with a 45-acre manufacturing facility and domestic sales offices in Memphis, Tennessee and international sales offices in Shanghai, China and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. As the son of a single mom who married five guys, Bill had many coaches who were his real father figures and invested in him. Because of this, helping other kids like himself has been a central part of his life.In 2003, Bill began volunteering as a football coach at Memphis' inner-city Manassas High School in an effort to turn around its underperforming football team of 19 players with a dismal 4-95, 10-year record. The school is located in a neighborhood where young men are three times more likely to be dead or in jail than have a job or be in college. Prior to Bill's involvement, the Manassas Tigers football team had never won a playoff game in its 110-year history. Under Bill's leadership, the team's record improved to 18-2 with 75 players in the 2008 and 2009 seasons. But Bill's involvement went beyond football. "My philosophy on coaching doesn't start with X's and O's. it starts with believing that players win games and coaches win players," he stated. Bill became a mentor to the mostly fatherless young men on the team, teaching them leadership skills, assisting them academically and caring for their physical and emotional needs. During his final two seasons coaching, 31 out of their 32 seniors went to college, which rarely happens in a neighborhood like Manassas.The story of Bill coaching inspired the Hollywood film, Undefeated, which won the 2012 Academy Award for Best Feature Length Documentary.While Bill ended his coaching career with the Manassas Tigers in 2012, he continues to coach a variety of teams and support efforts in and around Memphis. He is the co-founder of Man Rise, an organization that gives financial support to help five city schools with their football programs. He previously served on the board of Orphanos Foundation and supports St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and The North Memphis Steelers, a mentoring and athletics association founded by Chavis Daniels, one of the central figures featured in Undefeated. Bill's achievements and service have been recognized by several entities. In 2011, he was inducted into Bridge Builders for leadership in diversity, community and justice. He was the 2012 recipient of the Liberty Bowl's Harry Zinn Spirit of 1776 award for distinguished citizenship, recipient of the Carnival Memphis' King's Award for Outstanding Achievement in Business and Industry, and the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Memphis chapter's award winner for the distinguished American for Contribution to Amateur Athletics. In 2013, he was inducted into the prestigious Society of Entrepreneurs for his success in business and community service. He is the author of "Against the Grain: A Coach's Wisdom on Character, Faith, Family, and Love," released in 2014, and is a national speaker on topics of leadership, character and business. He was a keynote speaker at the Paralympics in Colorado Springs, with Nike, PepsiCo, FedEx, and other nationally recognized companies, and has spoken at numerous churches, schools and hospitals.Bill also hosts "An Army of Normal Folks," a podcast launched in May 2023. Bill is a graduate of The University of Mississippi.
