Coach Brad Stevens,In this episode, you'll hear from Brad Stevens. This SPECIAL BONUS PODCAST is simply about tips for coaches as they approach March. As we all know, we want to be playing our best basketball in March.  I am very fortunate that Brad Stevens would take time off his schedule to offer his thoughts on how teams can win in March. Coach Stevens is currently the President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics. In addition, Coach Stevens is coming off an eight-year run as their Head Coach. Coach Stevens won over 350 games and led the Celtics to three Eastern Conference Final appearances. Before becoming an NBA Head Coach, Coach Stevens was the Head Coach at Butler University for six seasons. Brad's success at Butler was simply incredible: five NCAA Appearances, two NCAA Final Fours, and back-to-back NCAA National Title game appearances. Actually, Coach Stevens has a career college winning percentage of close to 80 percent. The conversation that Brad and I have is a wonderful deep dive into some specific ways that Brad prepared his Butler teams to win in March. So many of us have heard about the Butler Way. Brad so eloquently breaks down that the Butler Way was really about TEAM. It is a great perspective into how when teams come together and collectively focus on one goal: that is, winning. Wait until you hear Coach Stevens talk about how he tried to get his players to play with a clear mind. Brad does a masterful job explaining why he believes that having three team meetings was a big part of his process when preparing on short turnarounds in the NCAA Tournament. Many of us admire Coach Stevens for his calmness and positivity on the sidelines. It is pretty special to hear Coach Stevens give his thoughts on coaching with poise. What is your coaching thought process on Special Situations? I am excited for you to hear how Brad approaches these moments. Did you ever wonder how Brad constructed the famous Butler ball screen continuity offense? Pretty cool to get this insight. Finally, throughout the podcast, you are going to hear Coach Stevens say the words "simple" and/or "simplify" multiple times. It is remarkable to hear how Coach Stevens was able to prepare his teams to win in March. This is a 25-minute conversation with a basketball coach who is a high-level coach and elite leader.Follow Coach Brad Stevens @BCCoachStevensFollow Tell Me Your Story Coach @CoachKevinDro Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!
