Tim Cates sits down with USD Beach Volleyball head coach Derek Olson for an in-depth conversation about a life built around the sport. Olson reflects on his journey from player to coach, including formative stops at Cal and the University of Washington, where he helped shape competitive programs and sharpen his coaching identity. Now, Olson faces his biggest challenge yet: building USD’s Division I beach volleyball program from the ground up. With the Toreros not scheduled to play their first match until 2027, he shares what it takes to start a program from scratch—recruiting, establishing standards, and laying a foundation built to last. Olson also dives into how earning his Master’s in Coaching and Exercise Science from Concordia University Irvine has influenced his philosophy, coaching style, and approach to culture-building. It’s a thoughtful, behind-the-scenes look at long-term program development, leadership, and the patience required to build something meaningful before the first whistle ever blows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://teachhoops.com/ Why Are You Listening to a Coaching Podcast on Christmas Day? It is Christmas Day, and if you are tuning in, it proves one thing: you care deeply about your program. In this special reflective episode, we hit the pause button on the X's and O's, the scouting reports, and the endless grind of the season. We discuss the importance of stepping back to reflect not on the scoreboard, but on the deeper "why" behind the long hours and the sacrifices. We shift the focus from the next game to the long game of coaching. We talk about recognizing the "real wins" that often go unnoticed—the player who finally "got it," the huddle that felt more connected, and the character building that happens when things get tough. This episode is a reminder that while your players might forget a specific drill or play call, they will never forget how you treated them or the standards you modeled during adversity. Finally, we discuss the absolute necessity of self-care for coaches. You cannot pour into your players if your own cup is totally empty. We challenge you to use this holiday to reset your tone, express gratitude to your assistants, and spend guilt-free time with your family. This conversation is your permission slip to slow down today so you can return to the gym grounded, clear, and ready to be the present leader your team needs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on The Coaching Podcast, Coach EM sits down with the legendary Gigi Fernández for one of her most vulnerable and moving conversations yet. Gigi opens up about the competitive mindset it took to become a 17-time Grand Slam champion — and the inner work required to quieten the mind, detach from outcomes, and replace fear with focus. She shares how learning to lose became one of the greatest gifts of her career, supported by an evidence list reminding her that everything truly will be okay. Gigi also talks candidly about parenting twins, the moment Hurricane Helene took everything from her, and how that devastation sparked the revival of purpose behind her foundation, Tennis for Hope. And of course, she leaves us with a doubles tip that every player should tattoo on their brain: the person closest to the ball takes the shot. ABout Gigi Fernández: Gigi Fernández is widely regarded as one of the greatest doubles players in tennis history. A member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, she amassed 17 Grand Slam doubles titles and two Olympic Gold Medals with partner Mary Joe Fernández. In 2000, she was honoured as Puerto Rican Athlete of the Century, recognising her extraordinary impact on the sport. Today, Gigi pours her passion into coaching, education, and philanthropy. She is the founder of The Gigi Method and Gigi Fernández Tennis, helping adult players elevate their doubles skills through world-class camps, clinics, and events around the world. After losing her home during Hurricane Helene, Gigi founded Tennis for Hope, a nonprofit uniting the tennis community to support individuals and clubs affected by natural disasters. Off the court, she is a proud mum to twins, Karson and Madison. Connect with Gigi: https://gigifernandeztennis.com/
A few coaches recently have brought questions about set coaching programmes into the supervision room. Marketing-wise, set programmes are an excellent way to instill certainty and trust in your coaching, by selling the idea that a “proven method” or relied upon series of exercises, assessments, or lines of inquiry are going to create a particular outcome within a certain timeframe. Now every serious coach knows that in reality, those kind of journeys at best are opening doors into the conversations that really matter, and at worst are a complete distraction from having those conversations. And yes, sometimes, when we pick the right client for our programme, they absolutely deliver. But it means we're keeping to a tight niche. There is some value in guided journeys, for sure, though also definitely a number of pitfalls. So today we are digging into some of the pros and cons of set coaching programmes. ____If you'd like to stay up to date with new episodes, continue the conversation or generally support what we do: Send us your question: http://bit.ly/talkingaboutcoachingSign up to our mailing list (no spam, no sales, just a quick shout about new episodes): https://rocketsupervision.com/talking-about-coaching/Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG2cSupport the show

Yannick and Nicki have been facing some significant loss in their recent past and in this episode decided to discuss their journey of getting back into coaching clients. Grief and bereavement are experienced on a spectrum and everyone is ultimately navigating their own journey, but questions such as “When is it appropriate to see clients again?”, “Do I disclose what happened to my clients?”, “How do I stay focused on my client's issues?”, or “To what extent do I need to have processed my own loss before I can work with clients efficiently?” are certainly questions that many coaches are asking themselves after facing significant challenges. TakeawaysGrief is a universal experience that can deeply impact personal and professional life.Self-disclosure in coaching can create deeper connections and open meaningful conversations.Personal experiences of loss can enrich coaching practices by adding depth and empathy.Existential reflections on grief can lead to personal growth and resilience.Opening conversations about grief can help normalize the experience and support others in their journeys.ChaptersIntroduction and Context (00:00 - 02:30)Personal Experiences with Grief (02:31 - 08:45)Grief and Coaching (08:46 - 18:20)Existential Reflections (18:21 - 28:10)Concluding Thoughts (28:11 - End)KeywordsGrief, Coaching, Self-disclosure, Existentialism, Personal growth, Emotional resilience, Human connection, Loss, Reflection, Authenticity____If you'd like to stay up to date with new episodes, continue the conversation or generally support what we do: Send us your question: http://bit.ly/talkingaboutcoachingSign up to our mailing list (no spam, no sales, just a quick shout about new episodes): https://rocketsupervision.com/talking-about-coaching/Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG2cSupport the showSupport the show

Letang is still in the front 9 of his coaching career, and as you'll hear, when he decided that coaching was his chosen career post retirement, he immersed himself in all facets of the job. And it's paid off. After 2.5 seasons as an Assistant Coach in Owen Sound, he was promoted to the role of Head Coach. This would eventually lead him home to Sarnia, where he is getting set to lead the Sting for a 5th season, and one in which the expectations are high. Internationally, he has represented Canada multiple times, beginning as an Assistant Coach at the 2020 and 2023 World Junior Championships, as the Head Coach of Canada's entry at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and finally as the Head Coach of Team Canada at the 2024 World Junior Championships. Listen as he shares his philosophy on setting players up for success after a mistake, finding the fine line between physicality and discipline, and how he's approaching the changing landscape of junior hockey.
