Most strength coaches get weeks to settle into a new job. Kevin Rodriguez got four days.Kevin Rodriguez's path to Siena wasn't a straight line, but it was fast at the end. After building the strength program from scratch at Delta State and spending four years at UT-Chattanooga working with men's basketball, women's golf, and beach volleyball, Rodriguez accepted the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach job at Siena and was on campus within four days. He credits a mix of prayer, self-reflection, and honest conversations with mentors, including former UT-Chattanooga head coach Dan Earl, for helping him make the call.Once he arrived, Rodriguez treated the first weeks like an audit. He got every player's phone number from the director of operations and texted personal introductions before he'd even found a place to live. From there, he assessed the weight room, met the training staff, and ran team lifts built less around programming and more around establishing standards, energy, and trust. Rodriguez calls it going back to the same intangibles he built at Chattanooga. The location changes. The standard doesn't.Rodriguez also gets specific about how he manages pressure and emotion, both his own and his athletes'. A habit he picked up as a graduate assistant at Mississippi State, rehearsing team talks and workout explanations out loud in the car, is still part of his routine before every big moment, podcasts included. He also leans on a mantra passed down from a football coach at Delta State: take it personal, but don't be sensitive. It's the same approach he brings to coaching players through emotional moments on the court, treating them like adults instead of problems to manage.The conversation closes on expectations. Rodriguez inherited a Siena program that won its conference last season, the same situation he faced walking into UT-Chattanooga the year after a conference championship run. He talks through UT-Chattanooga's NIT championship season, a run built on patience through a rocky start, and the lesson he's carrying to Siena: enjoy the big moments, because not every coach gets one.Key Takeaways- Getting player phone numbers and sending personal introductions before arriving on campus builds trust before day one.- Rehearsing high-pressure conversations out loud, a habit from his graduate assistant days at Mississippi State, keeps him composed in team talks and media moments alike.- Take it personal, but don't be sensitive: a mantra that turns criticism into fuel instead of self-doubt.- Treating athletes like adults defuses conflict faster than trying to manage or control it.- Winning the NIT at UT-Chattanooga taught him to sit in a big moment instead of rushing back to work.Quote"Take it personal, but don't be sensitive."— Kevin Rodriguez, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Siena College

The All-Local afternoon update for 12/16/25

In this Episode: Slow Down to Go Faster with Ralph Simone Episode Summary: In this episode, Mark and Theron sit down with Ralph Simone, a founding partner of Emergent and a veteran in leadership and organizational development with over 40 years of experience. Ralph breaks down his definition of leadership, "influencing and inspiring purposeful action" and discusses why the most effective way to speed up your results is actually to slow down your process. From the martial arts wisdom of Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee to practical habits for "Success Planning," Ralph shares actionable strategies to help you live and lead with intention. Key Takeaways: The Definition of Leadership: Why leadership isn't just about authority, but about the ability to influence purposeful action and remain open to learning. Vulnerability is Strength: Why the best leaders (and coaching clients) are those willing to say "I don't know" and be vulnerable enough to learn. Success Planning: Ralph's 35-year habit of weekly planning to move from being "reactive" to "proactive." Read for Application, Not Completion: A unique approach to reading books where you stop once you find an actionable idea, rather than grinding to the end of the book. The "Slow Down to Go Faster" Philosophy: The story of how advice from Chuck Norris to Bruce Lee inspired Ralph's book title, and how strategic pauses can skyrocket your productivity. 3 Immediate Actions: Create "White Space": Stop scheduling back-to-back meetings. Build in 5–10-minute buffers to breathe, reset, and set an intention for the next task. Audit Your Learning Style: Determine if you are a reader, a listener, or a doer, and curate your education (books vs. podcasts vs. travel) to match that style. The Weekly Success Plan: Dedicate time on the weekend to map out your "Big Rocks" for the next 2-3 weeks, rather than just filling your schedule with immediate tasks. Resources Mentioned: Book: Slow Down to Go Faster: Living and Leading Intentionally by Ralph Simone and Renny M Simone (Release date of 12/22/25) Website: Slowdowntogofaster.com  www.getemergent.com Book Recommendation: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Book Recommendation: Living in Flow by Sky Nelson-Isaacs Ralph Simone Bio: Ralph Simone has spent over a quarter of a century helping individuals and organizations transform themselves, raise their consciousness, and perform at their fullest potential. As a Black Belt in karate and an avid reader, Ralph understands the benefits of consistent practice and continuous learning as integral parts of leadership development. He received his B.B.A. from Siena College in 1979 with a major in accounting. He is a Certified Professional Coach, specializing in leadership and organizational effectiveness, and has amassed over 15,000 paid client coaching hours. An accomplished writer and sought-after speaker, Ralph is currently writing a book entitled Slow Down to Go Faster. He also published Making It Stick and The Daily Re-Tweet.

This week, mayoral candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo had some highs — and some lows. He was once again confirmed to be a frontrunner in a new Siena College poll, but he was also denied millions of dollars in public matching funds because of a so-called technical glitch. Meanwhile, Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is the first mayoral candidate to max out on public matching funds. Mamdani, along with some of the other candidates, spent the week going after President Donald Trump. NY1 political director Bob Hardt, investigative reporter Courtney Gross and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan break down a busy week in the race for mayor. After that, the “Off Topic” team continues its series of profiles on Democratic mayoral primary candidates. This week's installment finds them discussing Jessica Ramos, the Queens state senator running to the left of most of the other candidates.

One phenomenon that's been getting a lot of attention during this election is the growing gender gap among young people.Young men are leaning right, and young women are moving left.In recent national surveys from The New York Times and Siena College, young women favored Kamala Harris by 42 percentage points and young men favored Donald Trump by 12 points.And Trump has made explicit appeals to men — or at least his version of masculinity — a huge part of his message and campaign strategy.So, as we enter the election's final days, we wanted to see how these messages were landing in the key battleground state of Wisconsin.On the show today: What's driving the gender divide in 2024? And is Trump's bet on young men working? Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.
