Assistant Coach Tim Simplot returned to the Bench for this Bohmbach-hosted game to team up with Dave and face off against Walling and Snyder. Early on, Snyder claimed to be a "Glue Guy" who hopes not to be bound for the glue factory. One team opted to add an incorrect first name to a correct last name (in fact, it was the answer's brother), thus losing out on a critical 25 points. We learned that even God can't hit a 1-Iron and Dave just wanted to say "Gooch." We also had a return of the Stranger Things coin which helped a team get a correct answer. #glueguy #gluefactory #oneiron #gooch #stangerthings #macrosota #famousducks https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Breaking down why men's leaguers lose their first step as they get older, and why most guys are training in a way that won't actually fix it. The short answer comes down to fast-twitch muscle fibers (the ones responsible for explosive movement). As you age, they shrink and weaken faster than everything else. And the way most adults train, they're not doing much to slow that down. I also get into why Men's League Domination '26 was built the way it was, and how Coach Tim's Speed Accelerator system specifically targets the explosiveness that matters most on the ice.

https://teachhoops.com/ Tim Sweeney, currently the head coach at Connecticut College, offers a masterclass in how to build a program centered on mindfulness, precision, and deep-rooted relationships. Having spent years at Davidson under the legendary Bob McKillop—including the historic 2008 Elite Eight run with Stephen Curry—Sweeney's philosophy is anchored in the "Cycle of Reflection." He teaches that a coach's most powerful tool is the ability to step back and analyze the why behind every outcome. By fostering a culture of gratitude and intentionality, he ensures that his players are not just physically prepared, but mentally anchored, allowing them to remain poised during the high-pressure NESCAC conference schedule. A hallmark of the "Sweeney Standard" is the belief that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. He advocates for doing a few things at an elite level rather than being mediocre at many. This approach is particularly evident in his emphasis on "Special Situations"—those final two minutes of a half where games are often won or lost. By drilling these scenarios with collegiate-level intensity, he removes the fear of the unknown, giving his athletes the confidence to execute their roles with clinical precision. For Sweeney, program building is about vertical integration; every drill in practice must directly translate to a game-day advantage, ensuring a consistent identity from the opening tip to the final buzzer. Ultimately, Coach Sweeney's success at Hobart and Connecticut College proves that leadership is a relationship-driven enterprise. Drawing from the McKillop model, he balances high-demand standards with high-level personal care. This "Trust Equity" is what allows him to push his players to their absolute ceiling. As you look to evolve your own program, Sweeney's roadmap suggests that the most enduring cultures are those where the coach acts as both a tactician and a mentor. By prioritizing character recruitment and emotional intelligence, he has created a sustainable blueprint for success that transcends the X's and O's, proving that how you lead is just as important as what you teach.
