Tom Huebner has been described in many ways throughout his career, an energetic instructor, an inspiring professor, a trusted mentor, and a visionary leader. A native of Kansas City, Missouri Huebner earned a bachelor's degree in communication and English from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri, a master's degree in speech communication from the University of Georgia and a doctorate in communication from the University of Southern Mississippi. He also graduated from The University of Alabama's Community College Leadership Academy. An educator for more than 30 years, Huebner began his professional career in 1990 at Southwest Baptist University as an instructor and assistant director of speech and debate. His first experience in Mississippi began in 1994 where he became an instructor of communication and director of speech and debate at William Carey University in Hattiesburg. At Carey, Huebner progressed from instructor to assistant professor to director of admissions and recruiting. Huebner's ascent into higher education administration really began at Carson-Newman University in Jefferson City, Tennessee in the early 2000's as he moved consecutively from assistant professor and director of speech and debate to become dean of admissions, vice president of enrollment management, and vice president of student affairs. Moving to Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2010, Huebner was responsible for all student services of the College and began the pursuit of a presidency. Just five years later, he was named president of East Mississippi Community College. During his tenure at EMCC, the community college was twice named an Aspen Top 150 community college and was listed as the nation's 3rd best community college by SmartAsset. The community college was also one of only four nationwide selected by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to receive an InsideTrack grant. Huebner was also instrumental in the production of the Netflix documentary, Last Chance U, an Emmy nominated documentary series based on the redemption of disadvantaged students through the college's football program. Dr. Thomas Huebner became the third president of Meridian Community College on July 1, 2018. Since arriving at Meridian Community College Huebner has hit the ground running. In addition to leading efforts to tell the MCC story and elevate the presence of the institution, he has worked to secure multiple grants, including substantial awards for advanced manufacturing, has developed relationships with industry and educational partners, moved the College to develop a number of new industry-relevant programs, renovated campus facilities, implemented a new strategic planning process, and received the Phi Theta KappaPresident's Paragon Award. He was recently named top 10 over 50 for Meridian and Lauderdale County by the Meridian Star and was recently recognized by the Mississippi Business Journal as one of Mississippi's top CEOs.
This week Dawson and Clint talked with Joshua and Amber Niven! They are authors of the book 'Discovering the Appalachian Trail: A Guide to the Trail's Greatest Hikes'. Even though their journeys and experiences on the AT came at different times - they found common ground in their love for the trail, its people, and the experiences it offers. Joshua completed the AT in 2013 with some friends and Amber backpacked over 1,400 miles of the AT with her dad and other family members after graduating Carson-Newman University. Amber is a lifelong journal keeper and Joshua is a professional and avid photographer - when they met it almost seemed like a book was inevitable. The layout and content of this book is very unique - offering some historical insights, character spotlights, and fantastic pictures that help the reader complete the journey. Our conversation took us through their AT experiences, their approach to their art, the writing and book development process, and as always - we got to hear some fantastic stories and perspectives. They currently live in Madison , NC with their two children and are living their dream as they become more self-sustaining and watch their kids develop the same love of the great outdoors as they have. A great episode about two people - two different AT journeys - becoming one book! Learn more about them at www.discoveringtheat.com. Thanks for listening!

Timothy Holder has published several books on presidents, their faith, and leadership. His interest in presidents is both a cause and effect of his work as a History professor. Tim's Christianity is the source of his interest in faith as a writing topic. And over the years, he has been a boss, and has been bossed around, hence the interest in leadership. He has a Ph. D. and a Masters degree in History from the University of Kentucky. He also received a Masters in Applied Theology from Carson-Newman University, and during his undergraduate studies at Asbury University he majored in both Bible and Education (with a History emphasis for the latter).Tim is former Assistant Dean in the Behavioral and Social Science Division at Walters State Community College. Join us on our Christians Speak UP podcast as we discuss Tim's books: Devotions with Presidents, Presidential Stories, Ask the Professors Keys to College Success, and Presidential Character: Geroge Washington-John Qunicy Adams. https://www.amazon.com/Timothy-D-Holder/e/B002BMICP0?

Am I getting better at helping the players get better? There is a greater purpose than the wins and losses The purpose in coaching, and it helps us reflect Coaches have a ton of content to be able to reflect and learn from so much of that good content Help run camps! This is more than just camp, this is lesson in life and how to play the game the right way Be a constant learner Learning when to say things Find out about your kids and what makes them tick Learn to communicate with kids either as a group or individually Have a feel, common sense, street awareness How do we get instincts?Experience, have awareness of what is happening, watching the game, Variety in our training Different drills create athlete as catcher The body get used to the training it is under Catchers Gear only comes off when they hit Ask our catchers how their legs are train accordingly. This is after you get to know them so you know who to push and who to put the brakes on Different stances during each commercials Nothing better than catching bullpens for a catcher Top Gun competition - different test for every aspect of competition The more you can have some competition for receiving, blocking, throwing Spending more time on hitting might not allow you to get in the lineup Working on balls out of the zone to learn how to handle it. Gives the pitcher more confidence Keeps the run game in order Dry work, shadow drills, specific area, simple to complex Pushup to catch - help the body organize it and help when the skill is les complex Training needs to be a higher level than the game so the game becomes easier Visual training, verbal training, and have a lot of tools in the toolbox to help kids get better We are teachers trying to get players from point a to point b We all have opinions and no one is wrong If i am passionate about something and i can get my players to buy in then do it!! Skid mark on a movement object Listen to the umpire (quit moving) Its got to be something you believe and you are passionate about it and what works for you What works for you! You have to have some core principles When you go shopping, bring a small cart The key is getting the players to buy into what you are teaching Servant hearts - when we develop our catcher we need to develop leaders! The catching position is the leadership position Pitching calling, umpire relationship, leading pitching staff/team relationships, Classroom, video, we talk about it, show examples of leadership If we don't have them, we need to learn them What are the traits of a good leader?Teach, talk, and practice it! Get feedback when they do it!! Remind them of the time we missed it Specific feedback Intentional about finding wins everyday!! Pick up on things from a recruit during a visit and how they handle conversation and speak to parents Can we change this mans life?? Why not us?? Never forget where your heart is and what your purpose is Need someone to tell you the right thing and hold you accountable Need some sort of pitt stop and check in to slow it down and take moments to spend time with someone to make sure you are Any relationship starts with HELLO! We don't come to watch game, we come to learn! Life is about relationships and learning from others! You gotta see everything Bullpens to outfield - catch the good and catch the bad - want kids to know they are always being watch - everything matters Stretching, weight room - i need to evaluate the player to know you are going to our guy Want players to take ownership of that eventually 90% is being encouraging and 10% is correcting and holding the standard Practice variety - plan it like the game (from offense to defense) Baserunning, team defense, batting practice Creating mass hysteria!!! Help make them make decisions in those chaotic times Be a constant learner Find a mentor Find a servant heart Help the game grow We want a generational kid! Program built on developing the generational player tgriffin@cn.edu https://catchblockthrowit.com/

A native of East Tennessee, Earl Starbuck is an independent historian and a descendant of soldiers on both sides of The Late Unpleasantness and of Governor John Sevier. His father, who was a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, taught him to love history and the South. Starbuck holds a BA in History and Political Science from Carson-Newman University and an MA in History from Liberty University. He has no connection to the coffee company. I talk with Starbuck about his petition “Tennessee Must Oppose Vaccine Tyranny” and how state's rights and nullification can resist federal overreach, but it requires action of the people and their representatives in those states. We also discuss big-government/Lincolnian indoctrination and Southern cultural genocide, compare bondage within today's godless empire to forms of involuntary slavery, and take many a deep dive down some thought-provoking historical rabbit holes, including a spoiler about one of the most commonly attributed quotes to Robert E. Lee. In addition to reading, signing, and helping spread the word about Starbuck's bold petition, be sure to check out his 4-part series on General Lee: The Believer, The Father, The Soldier, and The Educator, as well as his essays “Was Secession Treason?” and “Roe v. Wade: A Mere Nullity,” Thomas Jefferson's “The Rights of British America,” and M.E. Bradford's “Original Intentions On the Making and Ratification of the United States Constitution.”
Collin Crane is the head strength and conditioning coach for the men's basketball team at Mississippi State University. In this episode we talk mentors and success, marriage and fatherhood, and everything in between. Collin played college hoops at Carson Newman University. He coached at the Florida, Missouri State, and UT Chattanooga in different capacities before landing his current role at Mississippi State, where he is rolling into his fifth season with the team. Collin takes an exceptional amount of pride in everything that he does which is evidenced by the level of success he's achieved at such a young age. He is a hoop nut and a true coach at heart. His humility, confidence, and obsession for preparation commands a genuine respect from others, and It's no mystery that his players love playing for him and that he has success wherever he goes. Above it all he is a great man, husband, and father, and I am lucky to call him a friend. Overview of Discussion Points Finding your identity and your why Focus on the process, not the results - “Focus on the root, not the fruit” The common denominators of successful people Mentoring from Billy Donovan, Ben Howland, and others How you do anything is how you do everything Appreciation for Courtney as a wife and mother Praying through times of transition Highlights and challenges of fatherhood What Collin is most proud of in his life so far
