As I'm still taking on this bug I have, I saw this post that got me thinking a bit about how each of us has a “culture”.  I found this from Hoop Herald (@TheHoopHerald) where this quote was shared: “Culture and doing things the right way should be the focus every day. Your daily habits are what you lean on when things get hard” - Jay Wright.  As we all have things that get difficult throughout life, it really comes down to our own culture and what we have created in our everyday lives - that helps to either get us through the challenges or causes more challenges. My current challenge is getting better, and I'm still trying to make sure I do things the right way - even if they are a bit slower. If we set up those good habits, then it won't matter what the day is all about, we'll just keep doing the right thing. It's a good way to get through easy days and hard ones too.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Found another item to get me reflecting on being my best. I've come to find that I not only look forward to working hard on being my best, but also I know I need to.  A couple of great coaches shared this one.  Coach AJ Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) shared this post with some thoughts from Coach Jay Wright where he shared this gem:  “The greatest characteristic you can have as a human being is a great attitude. It's a choice you have every day.”  Coach AJ reminds us that it's a choice on perspective, not circumstance.  A negative attitude is a roadblock. It's draining.  Not sure if there is something that is not 100% more on target with what can cause ourselves trouble than these thoughts.  Just try and take this on, even for just a few minutes every day and watch the good things to come into your life.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Hour 3: Ike, Spike, and Fritz talk Eagles with Ron Jaworski and then talk to Jay Wright about the Sixers, his career, retirement, and more.

Legendary Villanova head coach Jay Wright joins the show to talk about the Sixers, coaching, his retirement, and much more.

There's more than one way to stay on top of your profession. One of the best ways is to take what you do best and meld it with the new trends, making your operation germane and important, now and going forward. For the better part of eight decades, Anthony Dominick Benedetto, better known as Tony Bennett, was a musical force, a singer's singer, who began as a nightclub crooner, singing the standards of the day. By the time of his passing last year, Bennett was working with current favorites Lady Gaga and Carrie Underwood, staying relevant while retaining his old school charm. This past week, another Tony Bennett, this one a college basketball coach, took another path, electing to get out of the game rather than evolve with the times. The basketball Bennett, abruptly retired from coaching at the relatively young age of 55 and three weeks from the start of a new season. Bennett led the University of Virginia's men's team to its first national title five years ago and his Cavaliers would likely have been a force to be reckoned with in their conference and nationally. Indeed, Bennett recently signed a lucrative contract extension to stay at UVA for years to come. But Bennett told a hastily assembled press conference last week that he'd had enough of the game that had been a part of his life for over 35 years, counting playing and coaching, Bennett effectively came to the conclusion that he didn't leave the game, but rather, basketball has left him. Specifically, Bennett balked at coaching in the new paradigm of college athletics where power has shifted from the people who run it to those who play. Bennett said quote “The game and college athletics is not in a healthy spot,” And there needs to be change. I think I was equipped to do the job here the old way. That's who I am and that's how it was. My staff has buoyed me along to get to this point, but there needs to be change unquote. Waves of change have crashed over college sports in recent years. From the unholy alliances of schools in new conferences to the indirect and soon to be direct payment of athletes by boosters and schools and the transfer portal, the world that Tony Bennett entered years ago has evolved. Some coaches have embraced the change and tried to make the most of it. But for some like Bennett and contemporaries like Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams of North Carolina and Jay Wright of Villanova, college basketball has morphed into something they don't want to be associated with any more. And so each of those men, all national championship coaches and current, if not future Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinees, have called it a career, rather than try to make a go of it. The singer Tony Bennett is, of course, best known for the haunting song “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.” His namesake, the basketball coach, may come to be known for leaving his nerve and a chance to challenge the system in Charlottesville. It's not nearly as catchy, but a whole lot more heartbreaking. And that's how I see it for this week. You can reach us via email with your questions and comments at Sports at Large at gmail.com.

[00:00:30] Deneé Barracato: Kelly Watts was a former assistant coach at several different institutions before she ended up at Hofstra. And she was a woman of color that was just so vibrant. She loved sports. She loved people. She loved the Lord. And every time I was around her, I just felt this spirit of joy. And she was just always so fun to be around, and she put things in perspective for me at a very impressionable age in my life as a young adult, where she always reminded me to keep the Lord first. Trials and tribulations are going to come, and adversity is going to come, but you need to stay focused and centered, and she really poured her optimism into me and I appreciated that. And then she was actually great at basketball. So, she taught me as a guard the skills that I needed to be successful on the next level. ++++++++++++ [00:01:19] Tommy Thomas: Our guest today is Deneé Barracato. She's the Deputy Director of Athletics for Operations and Capital Projects at Northwestern University. Her career path to Northwestern has taken her to leadership roles at York College, Queens College, and Adelphi University. She did a stint in Indianapolis with NCAA as the Associate Director of Division I Women's Basketball, and she even did a stint at Madison Square Garden's Company as Director of Strategy, where she worked with the Knicks, the Rangers, and the New York Liberty teams to further advance the marketing and business objective of the Madison Square Garden business partners. [00:02:00] Tommy Thomas: She took her undergraduate degree from Hofstra University, where she was a four-year basketball letter winner. As a student athlete at Hofstra, she led the nation in steals for women's Division I basketball and earned America East All Conference honors. Following graduation, she played professionally in the Women's Professional League in Puerto Rico for the Saints of St. Juan, as well as with the National Women's Basketball League as a member of the Atlanta Justice. In addition to her undergraduate degree from Hofstra, she earned a master's degree in exercise science and sports management from Adelphi. She's married to Michael, and they have three children, Grace, MJ, and Mia. [00:02:41] Tommy Thomas: Deneé, welcome to NextGen Nonprofit Leadership. [00:02:45] Deneé Barracato: Thank you for having me, Tommy. I'm humbled. It's a pleasure to be here with you all just to talk about sports and my journey thus far. [00:02:54] Tommy Thomas: Thank you. My guests sometimes want to know where I find all these people. Ty Brown has a podcast on leadership, and I listened to it. And I heard Deneé about maybe two months ago, three months ago. And I thought this is somebody I would love to have as a guest. You're so gracious to carve out some time for us in the midst of what I know is a busy prelude to your intercollegiate athletics this year. [00:03:19] Tommy Thomas: But before we dive too deep into sports or your current role, take me back to your childhood and tell me what was it like growing up?  [00:03:29] Deneé Barracato: Oh, wow.  Growing up, I had a very active childhood. I was a tomboy at heart. I loved activity. I loved sports. I wouldn't say competitively, but just out in the park, a city kid originally from the Bronx, and my parents are from the city as well. First generation here in the United States, although Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, but they were born there and moved here at a young age, and then raised us in New York city. And later we moved out to Hempstead, Long Island where I went undergrad near Hofstra. I was a very active kid, loved life, and loved sports. And when I was in middle school, I was introduced to women's basketball or just basketball in general, from an organized standpoint. And I remember I just fell in love with it. I fell in love with the idea of playing something that was pretty cool at the time. And then I realized that I was actually decent at it. [00:04:32] Deneé Barracato: And it was interesting because I have two sisters, two older sisters. I'm the youngest of three. And my father ended up coaching the middle school team, and we were all on it. And I remember my older sister, Damaris, she was actually pretty good. She played at a junior college. And then my older sister, she just wanted nothing to do with it. She didn't like the physical interaction. And as I mentioned, I embraced it. My father encouraged me to continue to play, and the rest is history. I then transitioned to a public school and started getting engaged in summer basketball, AAU later in my high school career and ended up at Hofstra university. [00:05:17] Deneé Barracato: So, I would say my family, certainly my parents both being educators, but both being Hispanics growing up in the city, tried to instill in us work ethic, education, and just avenues to further my educational career. And basketball was one of those endeavors that helped me do that. And so now in my career, I can say that I will be forever indebted to basketball, but also this industry for giving me so much. And so that's why I do what I do to give back to potential student athletes and young adults that one day want to take advantage of that opportunity to do something very similar to myself. Yeah, so that's my childhood in a nutshell but one that I'm very proud of. [00:06:01] Tommy Thomas: So, when you were in high school, what kind of career aspirations did a young 15-year-old have? [00:06:08] Deneé Barracato: I have to be honest with you. I was so enamored with the sport of basketball. I was so tunnel visioned. I was determined to play Division I Women's Basketball. I didn't even know what that meant at the time. I just wanted to play at the highest level, wherever it was. And I worked tirelessly to ensure that happened, whether that was working out two days on my own as a 15, 16-year-old doing whatever I had to do, because I really came on to the AAU summer league basketball scene pretty late. [00:06:39] Deneé Barracato: My parents really didn't know the first thing about college scholarships and what sports can actually bring to an aspiring, young individual like me wanting to play on the next level. I don't know that they fully understood that there could be possibilities to getting a full scholarship that would allow me to be educated at no cost. And so once my parents learned that, then we fast forward through everything. So, my main focus was maintaining my grades so that way I can then play Division I Women's Basketball.  And then from there, obviously, the sky's the limit with potentially playing overseas. [00:07:16] Deneé Barracato: At the time when I first started, I think it was my freshman year. I don't know that the WNBA was even a thing. I don't know that it became a thing until my senior year. Back when I was 15, 16, that was my focus and I'm a bit taken back because if that is my daughter's focus at 15, 16, then I think we're going to have a different conversation. But certainly, it was one that I was really enamored with. And I had to be honest with you, even my relationship with the Lord probably wasn't first and foremost, the way it probably should have been back then. And it's later in life that I realized that there's more to life than just basketball, sports, and my own personal ambitions. And we could talk about that a little bit more, but that was what was going through my mind back then. ++++++++++++++++ [00:08:00] Tommy Thomas:   What is something that people are usually surprised to learn about you? [00:08:06] Deneé Barracato: Oh, that I actually have three children. Every time I share with them that I'm married with three children and I'm closer to 50 than I am to 40 they really get surprised. And I guess that's a compliment in a lot of ways, but one that hopefully I balance really well. At work, I work really hard and I'm hoping that my children will see that work ethic in me, but at the same time sometimes that comes back to impact the amount of time that I do spend at home. [00:08:33] Deneé Barracato: Because they see me so often, whether it's at work or at conferences which is where you heard Ty Brown's podcast, because I was at the NACDA conference and convention. Sometimes they don't realize that I actually have a family at home that's waiting for me, that depends on me. Obviously along with my husband, but yeah, I think that's something that they're surprised about. And even then, I even played professionally at the next level beyond just Hofstra University. And that was a wonderful experience too. And I think the last thing that might surprise them that I probably don't talk about as often as I should is my father is a pastor. And so, I was raised in the Word and although I didn't always walk in faith, it was instilled in me and that verse that talks about raising your children in the ways of the Lord and they shall not depart and those teachings. I think my life is evidence of that. And I'm hoping that I can certainly do the same with my children. [00:09:25] Tommy Thomas: Part of this sub theme I've got going here is the coaches in my life. And I've interviewed six or seven people like you who played intercollegiate sports. And we talked about things they learn from sports and things they learn from the coaches in their lives. So, thinking back, which coach do you think got the most out of you? [00:09:46] Deneé Barracato: Yeah, I've often talked about her. Her name is Kelly Watts, and she was a former assistant coach at several different institutions, Temple, I think she was at Rutgers for a little bit before she ended up at Hofstra. And she was just a woman of color that was just so vibrant. She loves sports. She loved people. She loved the Lord. And every time I was around her, I just felt this spirit of joy. And she was just always so fun to be around, and she put things in perspective for me at a very impressionable age in my life as a young adult, where she always reminded me to keep the Lord first. Trials and tribulations are going to come, and adversity is going to come, but you need to stay focused and centered, and she really poured her optimism into me, and I appreciated that. And so, she was one. And then she was actually great at basketball. So, she taught me as a guard the skills that I needed to be successful on the next level. [00:10:44] Deneé Barracato: And we still stay in touch to this day. I've been around her parents, or her mom and her sister. And she's always someone that I admire and that I often seek advice from, and, again, she was probably the most impactful person that was from a women's basketball perspective, but also Jay Wright, who was the men's basketball coach. She's a hall of fame coach, many people remember him from his days at Villanova and now CBS, but he was actually the head men's basketball coach at Hofstra university, my entire four-year career there. And we've just stayed in touch since then. He's been a mentor as well. [00:11:21] Deneé Barracato: Someone that I can pick up the phone and call. And we talk about different things going on in the industry right now. And I often pick his brain, but also brag about him and, back when I was at Hofstra on my off days, when the men's basketball team was traveling and we were home, I would help babysit his children. And I knew Patty, his wife, and now his children are grown. They're adults and so very successful, but he's someone else that I admired just the way he carried himself, how he invoked a championship mindset with his players and how he carried himself was just top notch and bar. [00:11:56] Tommy Thomas: Tell me about the best athletic team you were ever on and what made it the best athletic team. [00:12:05] Deneé Barracato: That's a good question. I would say my experience with the National Women's Basketball League. I was drafted in the fifth round and that was a league that started when the ABL folded. And so, the WMU was there. The ABL had just folded. That would be the CBA to the NBA. And they started this league because there were certain WNBA players that maybe didn't want to go back overseas during their off season, but still wanted to maintain their conditioning and just play competitively. So, they started this league, and I got drafted in the fifth round to the Atlanta Justice team. And I moved over there to play for a season and I just met incredible athletes, incredible humans: friends that I have to this day, friends that helped me through my wedding and playing at that top level, playing with some of the best players in the country. And Rebecca Lobo, the Miller twins. And I think maybe Tina Thompson also played in that league. There were just so many that I admired as a basketball player leading up. And obviously now they're household names, when we talk about women's basketball. I really enjoyed my time playing at that level and playing here in the States, in Atlanta. And so, I would say that would be my most impactful team. [00:13:25] Tommy Thomas: So how did basketball change for you between high school, college and the pros? What were the transitions? [00:13:37] Deneé Barracato: I think for me, it was maturity. When I was younger, I was still tunnel visioned, very selfish and my thought process, having this ambition to play and do well for me. That I forgot the team component. I forgot the humanity component. I forgot, that, hey, I know as a woman of color, I have to fight to really get the positioning that I need, really prove myself beyond many other individuals that were in front of me. Through maturity and through grace and patience, learning how to be a great teammate was something that I saw grow in me, and I can say that now as an adult, as a mother raising my children from high school to then college and then collegiate or professional sports just understanding that being a great teammate should be your first focus. [00:14:31] Deneé Barracato: Because if you can support your teammate, if you can have a like mindset, if you can be supportive of your coaches if you can understand what it is to go through adversity with your team, but go through positive moments with your team, like winning and doing it together as a collective unit, you're going to go that much further than if you're doing it on your own. And, I think over the years, I learned that it is so critical in any environment, not only playing on a sports team, but also in the office environment or in society or in your home, right? Instilling those things into your family members and your teachers, and even as a spouse. Knowing that we have to be one unit, and we have to be a team. And sometimes that takes compromise and all those things. And so, over the years, I think that I learned that through tough experiences and teachable moments that helped me be a better person, teammate, and partner to all those that are in my life. [00:15:31] Tommy Thomas: You referenced the lady that was such a strong influence in your college career, at what point did you realize that she might be teaching you something other than basketball? [00:15:42] Deneé Barracato: Oh, that's a good question. She had such an infectious personality that it is a good question because you can see the light and the energy in her, but it wasn't until one day we were talking about her time in Long Island.  At some point she lived in Long Island and we were just talking and I think I may have shared with her that I had family out in some part of Suffolk County in Long Island and she mentioned to me that the church she was going to was Upper Room and she really loved that part of Long Island and that kind of led me into a different conversation with her about that part of her life. [00:16:19] Deneé Barracato: And then seeing how she was able to marry the two. Her love for basketball and her love for the Lord. And there was nothing to be ashamed about, but there was a balance that you can have with both and do it so very well. And to see her do it at such a high level really intrigued me and really brought me back to things that I was taught and instilled as a young little girl with my parents. I think it happened organically through just conversation as any coach and player should have that dialogue, not just transactional on the basketball court, but really developing that relationship off the court. And I think through that interaction, we just started talking about life and it just made it all the more special to me in terms of that relationship. [00:17:08] Tommy Thomas: No matter how hard and dedicated you are to something; failure is always an option.  So, what did you learn from team sports about failure that you brought into your career? [00:17:20] Deneé Barracato: Oh, wow. I learned to again, be patient and know that growth is critical in life. Some of the student athletes that I speak to now are just curious or, if I have a moment to spend with them, they learn that as a senior, I actually ended up waiting for four games because I was going through, now we talk about mental health and that being such a critical component to student athletes. [00:17:48] Deneé Barracato: And back then we didn't know what that was. We were thinking maybe that was depression or whatever the case may be. But my senior year, coming off of a very successful junior year, I ended up getting injured in my junior year and ended up having surgery that delayed my recovery leading into my senior year, which was for me supposed to be the pinnacle because that's when the WNBA was coming out and, to be quite honest with you, was I good enough to be in the WNBA? I don't know, it's still a college girl's dream to play on the next level. And some nuances happened within that year because of my surgery, and I didn't end up starting and that kind of impacted my psyche going into that season. And I just, for whatever reason, just didn't recover. [00:18:32] Deneé Barracato: And I couldn't get over the fact that I wasn't starting, and I wasn't going to be, in my mind, as impactful. And I couldn't just sit back and say, you know what, some of my other teammates were sitting behind me for three years when I was starting. And now it's my opportunity to sit behind them and cheer them on and encourage them and give them an opportunity to play. And so throughout that time just learning how to overcome adversity, and I mentioned before, just maturing through that process, being a great teammate, thinking of others before thinking of myself and understanding that you can still be successful. Perhaps not in the way that you envisioned, but you can still find a way back while still being supportive of teammates, while still being supportive of those around you, and improving yourself and getting back to what you believe you can actually accomplish. [00:19:28] Deneé Barracato: And so, for me, that maturity in that moment of time led me to then come back to the team, apologize and really find my way back to a team and a sport that had given me so much. And was I really going to give all that up because of my own selfish thoughts? And maybe there was some validity at that time in my life, but I think now I would have approached it very differently and taken the time to take a step back and be reflective and be a great teammate and really find ways to fill that void with support, with encouragement, with cheering, and all the things that we teach our young adults now to do. And so I use that story to share with some of our student athletes when they're in a slump or when their things aren't going their way, just to share with them that there is light at the end of the tunnel, but there's also a component of patience and of taking a step back and looking at the situation and seeing what part of that situation is in your control and how could make the best of a tough situation. ++++++++++++= [00:20:38] Tommy Thomas: So, what did you learn about trust and communication from team sports? [00:20:45] Deneé Barracato: Trust and communication in team sports is so critical. We talk about this kind of team environment, team impact, and nothing that happens with a group of people is successful unless you have great communication, unless you have a great relationship, unless there's authenticity, intentionality, and all that you put into a relationship. Just understanding the different dynamics of individuals that make up a team or a group is really important. Understanding that different people bring different attributes, bring different skills, bring different gifts that would help propel a team to success. And just knowing that it all starts with intentionality, communication, and embracing people's differences. [00:21:29] Deneé Barracato: And so those things are really critical to the team environment that I've again grown to understand over my period of time as a young adult, but even into the professional realm as an administrator is learning that people have so many different attributes. People have so many different leadership qualities, but it's embracing all those and then in that group setting, just encouraging people to talk about those different things through communication. And putting those things into action for success as a group of individuals may be different. So that way there's a common goal and then, that can hopefully blossom into something beautiful. And in our line of business, that is championships. Just embracing the group setting, knowing that people have different gifts and talents that they can bring to a group. And then, really emphasizing the communication and the embracing of those different skills for success. [00:22:28] Tommy Thomas: Things get tough in someone's career. You get hurt. You don't always win. What motivated you to keep pushing yourself even when things weren't as good as you might have wanted them to be? [00:22:40] Deneé Barracato: I never want to be a quitter, right? Though sometimes things didn't go your way, I was always taught to believe the Lord calls us to be our best selves. And he equips you with the things that you would need to overcome adversity. And I know I didn't always understand that. But I just have this innate thing in me where I always just want to work really hard. I always want to represent my family to the highest extent. I always saw my mother and father working really hard and they provided me with an example of work ethic and being good and great, despite their circumstances. And I always wanted to ensure that I was doing the same thing and that I was making them proud. I was really pushing myself to be the best version of myself, despite my circumstances. Now, did I always follow through on that? No, I think I'm human and I've grown through that. [00:23:37] Deneé Barracato: But I always wanted to ensure that I was making my family proud that I was really taking advantage of all the things that God gave me and provided me and blessed me with. And so, I never wanted to squander that, although there were many times as they mentioned, even my senior year, but I came back and I had this realization that no Deneé, you cannot quit. You have to move forward and overcome the adversity and really tune out the noise. And I would certainly say, my parents, all the things that they instilled in me as a young girl, and then just my personal endeavor to be my best self and the best version of myself was really important to me. [00:24:20] Tommy Thomas: So as a person of faith, how do you deal with competition in athletics? [00:24:26] Deneé Barracato: One, I don't think there's anything wrong with competition. You just can't take it to the next level, right? You have to be gracious. And I have to say I wasn't always gracious on the basketball court. I was a tenacious competitor and sometimes I would have to curtail my competitiveness so that way, people could see the light through me. And, as I mentioned before, I grew into that. And even now I play a mean game of monopoly. I am competitive with my kiddos and my kiddos are competitive with me. But it's all in good fun. I think just coming away with it, knowing that you can be competitive, you can have aspirations to win and there's nothing wrong with that. [00:25:11] Deneé Barracato: As the Lord calls us to be great and he expects that from us. And so just embracing that while also loving your neighbor, while also being gracious, while also having a good attitude and being a good sportsman and really saving some of the things that may not be appropriate in that moment. Allowing the Lord to watch that under the blood, Tommy, we just allow the Lord to take the wheel and go. But certainly, throughout my time in undergrad and just through my life just asking the Lord to guide me and direct me and give me grace when I'm not a reflection of Him, but also reminding myself that it's really important that when people see me, whether it's in a competitive environment or a non-competitive environment, that they see the Lord through me. [00:25:59] Sometimes I fall short of that, but I always ask the Lord for guidance and for favor. And he gives that to me often. And hopefully throughout my life and my career, people have seen that through me. And if they haven't, that means I have more work to do. +++++++++++ [00:26:14] Tommy Thomas: I interviewed Dr. Linda Livingstone, the President at Baylor, and she had played ball at Oklahoma State, and she said that the game of women's basketball has just changed so much since she was a student athlete. [00:26:32] Tommy Thomas: How have you seen it change at the Division I level? [00:26:36] Deneé Barracato: I would agree with her, and I have met her. She's phenomenal. We visited there a couple of years ago not once but twice and she was such a gracious host. I would say, yes, the game of women's basketball has grown to success. We saw that this past year with the women's final four and the viewership and broadcast ratings and all the personalities are certainly Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and all those that continue to play and will be excited about women's basketball on the collegiate level again, as we're excited about the WNBA happening right now. And I think that the skill level has certainly enhanced since I was playing. The things that these women are doing are incredible, logo threes and the passes and the work ethic and the fitness and the dedication that they put into it is just at a different level. And I think that's attributed to just administrators and the industry putting more into and supporting women's sports and women's athletics. [00:27:31] Deneé Barracato: And showing people that know that they're great too. And they deserve to have a platform so people can see how wonderful and how great they are. Certainly, a lot of the banter that you see, I think, I believe is synonymous with just sports in general. But it's how you carry yourself and, how you correct, having those teachable moments on the court, I think we've all had those moments where you're just like, man, I could have probably handled that better. And I think sometimes you may see that on the basketball court. [00:28:08] Deneé Barracato: But I would say that the level of talent has enhanced because the focus and the dedication, and the resources have really been poured into the game of women's basketball in a very unique way. And so we've seen that be evident and what has happened over the last five years. And I've seen it more intimately because I serve on the Division I National Women's Basketball Committee, and we started back in San Antonio during kind of COVID days. And now to see it progress the way it has over the last four years. Now I'm going into my fifth and final year on the committee and just seeing the explosion on TV, the interest from so many different viewers. And we're talking about the demographics of viewers are just from young children to older men and women that are just so interested in what's happening with women's basketball. It has just been incredible to see. ++++++++++ [00:29:00] Tommy Thomas: Next week we'll continue this conversation with Deneé Barracato. She shares her journey from professional basketball to higher education administration. She reflects on the importance of team dynamics and the need for authenticity and leadership. Deneé also discusses how she balances her leadership role with family life, emphasizing the importance of flexibility and patience and managing multiple responsibilities. Her insights offer valuable lessons on resilience, teamwork, and leading through change, making this episode a must listen for anyone in or aspiring to leadership roles.   Links and Resources JobfitMatters Website NextGen Nonprofit Leadership with Tommy Thomas The Perfect Search - What every board needs to know about hiring their next CEO Deneé Barracato Bio Barracato named to NCAA Women's Basketball Committee Women of Live 2023 – Deneé Barracato   Connect tthomas@jobfitmatters.com  Follow Tommy on LinkedIn Follow Deneé on LinkedIn     Listen to NextGen Nonprofit Leadership with Tommy Thomas on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify

In the final segment of the show, Jay Wright joins us to talk about the Knicks and all the Villanova players.

Jay Wright joins us to talk about his former Villanova players on the Knicks.

Hour 1 The Mets beat the Yankees again last night and got back to .500. The offense has come to life and Boomer called Francisco Alvarez the ‘cog' for the team. The Yankees are still in first place, they still have 52 wins. Gleyber Torres was benched last night and it wasn't for an injury. It will be really interesting to see what the Mets and Yankees do at the trade deadline. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Mets beating the Yankees. Alvarez hit an opposite field 3-run HR. The Mets are 15-4 in their last 19 games. Luis Gil said, ‘that's how it goes' with good moments and bad moments. OG Anunoby is coming back to the Knicks. Chris Russo didn't think the Mikal Bridges trade was a big deal. We compared the sound of an elephant snoring to Eddie snoring. Jerry has audio from last night's NBA draft. In the final segment of the hour, Gio loves this song, ‘Million Dollar Baby' by Tommy Richman. Down the hall, Maggie Gray is eating tuna fish jello because she lost a bet.  Hour 2 We started the hour with the Knicks and OG Anunoby signing a new deal with the Knicks. We also talked about Jalen Brunson and the Knicks going forward. Leon Rose's daughter dropped hints about the Mikal Bridges trade on social media before it went down. Gio doesn't think the Knicks will be able to sign Isaiah Hartenstein. Gio said you cannot count on Mitchell Robinson to stay healthy next season. Boomer said this has been the best Knicks offseason in 20 years or more. Jerry returns for an update and has the sounds from last night's Mets win over the Yankees. Alvarez and Vientos have been the key to the Mets resurgence. Jerry said Aaron Judge is the best player he's ever seen. Shohei Ohtani homered and now has an RBI in 10 straight games, a Dodgers franchise record. Jerry plays, ‘What The Hell is That?' In the final segment of the hour, Gio said the next big star is a female Chinese basketball player. Her name is Zhang Ziyu and she is 7'3” but only 17 years old.  Hour 3 Boomer wonders how many different species of woodpeckers there are. Gio said woodpeckers are being studied for concussions in people. Gio wonders what Joe Benigno's cats are thinking. We talked about Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez. A caller thinks Boomer compared him to Johnny Bench. He did not. We compared Boomer's popularity in Cincinnati to great players on the Reds. Jerry returns for an update but first a caller has coaches that will be 72 when Gio's daughter is 24. Jerry has the sounds from last night's Mets win over the Yankees. Keith and Ron talked about Juan Soto being a liability in right field at Citi Field. Mike Francesa said technology will soon allow him to take phone calls on his podcast. There will be an A-I version of Al Michaels for the Olympics. In the final segment of the hour, Mike in Piscataway, made us customized ball markers. A caller said Boomer & Gio are bougie golfers and only play at the best country clubs.  Hour 4 We talked about the Knicks and Isaiah Hartenstein and his future contract. There might be a team that blows him away with an offer. What is the future of Mitchell Robinson and the Knicks? Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the Mets beating the Yankees again.  The Moment of The Day involves a snoring elephant and a snoring Eddie Scozzare. In the final segment of the show, Jay Wright joins us to talk about the Knicks and all the Villanova players.

Hour 2: Is Tua Tagovailoa worth a big money contract? | Jay Wright gives his thoughts on JJ Reddick coaching the Lakers | News Brief

Hour 1 The Knicks traded for Mikal Bridges, adding yet another Villanova player from their championship team. Boomer called it a ‘5 star move'. Gio called it, ‘the perfect acquisition for the Knicks'. The Knicks will now have a full bench of players. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with reaction from the Knicks trade from Evan Roberts, noted Nets fan. Evan also revealed he doesn't use deodorant. The Mets hit four home runs off Gerrit Cole and beat the Yankees 9-7. Gleyber Torres had another bad game at the plate and in the field and he blamed his tight groin. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls on Mikal Bridges to the Knicks. Boomer said OG Anunoby has to be a Knick.  Hour 2 We had a big night last night with the subway series and the Knicks trading for Mikal Bridges. Boomer said now it's time for the Rangers to make a move since they play in the same building. The NBA draft is tonight and there is no buzz at all. Some of the top players are international players we know nothing about. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the subway series last night. Boomer goes around the diamond and wants to know which team has the better player at each position. The Yankees loaded the bases with nobody out in the first and David Robertson struck out 3 straight. Mark Vientos hit two of the four home runs off Gerrit Cole. Vlad Jr suddenly is interested in the Yankees if they come calling. Jerry has reaction to the Knicks trade for Mikal Bridges from Evan Roberts. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls from Knicks fans on the trade.  Hour 3 Boomer has gifts for Gio and Jerry (I guess Al & Eddie are chopped liver). They are the new NHL jerseys made by Fanatics. The Mets beat the Yankees last night, 9-7 as Mark Vientos hit two home runs off Gerrit Cole. Gleyber Torres had another bad game at the plate and in the field. He blamed a groin injury, but he honestly looks disinterested. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Mets beating the Yankees thanks to four home runs off Gerrit Cole. Sal Licata wants to ‘tickle' Juan Soto as a Mets fan. Hunter Green of the Reds vomited on the mound in the first inning. Tommy Lugauer took to Twitter after the Mets beat the Yankees. He also said, ‘this is why I'm the future, this is why I'm a generational talent'. Evan Roberts screamed about fans telling him about the Mikal Bridges trade while he was at the Mets game. Stephen A. Smith reacts to the Bridges trade. In the final segment of the hour, Gio wonders where Jay Wright is since Stephen Waldron at CBS promised him to us as a guest.  Hour 4 Audacy is having a pride month town hall tomorrow and an actor from the broadway show Aladdin will be here. Gio knows the actor because his daughter used to watch his stuff non stop during Covid. Gio thought about all the terrible things he had to watch with his daughter during Covid just to keep her from screaming. Jerry returns for his final update of the day, but first Brandon Tierney made a very strange noise with his mouth. We also talked about Joe Benigno and the Golden Girls. Gio wonders if the Nets could bring Caitlin Clark in as a marketing gimmick to get people to care since they traded away Bridges. The Moment of The Day involves Sal wanting to ‘tickle' Juan Soto. In the final segment of the show, The Chiefs and Hallmark are teaming up for a holiday movie. We also talked about Bill Belichick and his young girlfriend. Gio is not bothered by it because they are both adults, but if his daughter brings home a 72 year old when she's 24 that would throw him off.
