This spring I'm releasing bonus episodes of The Take Home. No new lectures on leadership, instead I'm sharing the amazing podcasts created by the students in my Leadership for Sport Professionals class. In this bonus episode of Season 5, I'm sharing "Beyond the Arc" which was created and produced by Jacob Harvey and Halle Hamilton. Here are their liner notes: In season 2, episode 1, Jacob and I explore Northouse's ethical leadership style as detailed in chapter 15 of the 9th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During this segment, we highlight the importance of mentoring through observation, speak about humility's role in a collaborative and flexible coaching style and why people should always come first, discuss connections to Trinity, and end with a few valuable bits of wisdom to carry into the future. We also touch on the leadership challenge and the five components of leadership that we discuss in class, competence, benevolence, reliability, trust, and honesty, and how Jay naturally utilizes these practices as a leader in the Sports Industry. For this episode, we are joined by Jay Demings, the 3x3 national teams director of basketball for Team USA. Before arriving in Colorado Springs, Jay coached AAU basketball teams and fostered many youth basketball events. Jay earned his undergraduate degree in Business Administration from UMass Amherst and later pursued graduate studies in Sport Leadership at Northeastern University in Boston. Jay Demings joined USA Basketball as the Youth & Sport Development Director at the end of 2013. After expanding the division to include youth and coach development initiatives, 3x3, and E-Sports, Demings officially transitioned his full-time focus to 3x3 men's and women's national teams. Jacob first met Jay when he toured the USA Basketball headquarters in Colorado Springs during his freshman basketball season. From there, he got to know him by being a practice player at training camps for 3x3 world cups and competing in 3x3 events. Jay speaks very passionately about having a collaborative style when coaching. He believes that most of his early success as a coach came from his ability to admit when something went wrong and having the humility to tweak it with the help of his player's input. He drives home that, as leaders, it is extremely important to show people that you care about them more than the results and how far that truly goes. When we spoke about leadership philosophy, Jay stated his was: “Stay as flexible as you possibly can while maintaining your values, standards, and ethics.” He highlights the importance of implementing standards in place of rules and that these standards should be agreed upon collaboratively. When we dove into specific values of leadership, Jay believed trustworthiness was above all else. We loved how he consistently emphasized the importance of prioritizing people, particularly athletes, over the game itself. Jay wraps this conversation up by encouraging listeners to look for roles that allow them to expand their skills and emphasizes the importance of doing a multitude of skills, even the unfavorable ones, to the best of your ability. This is an excellent conversation to introduce season 2, and we thoroughly hope you take this conversation beyond the arc! Music by: Beat Mekanik

Jonny Keogh, UK&I Sports Lead at YouTube joins Andy and Charlie on the Sports Loft podcast. Having previously worked at Sky, Jonny now helps major rightsholders and sports creators make the most of YouTube. So we wanted to dig into what's coming from YouTube, who is being really innovative in their use of the platform and get some specific examples of how teams are using it to drive revenue. Some of the topics we discuss include: Has YouTube become THE destination for highlights? How are rightsholder's monetising their content, but also how are they incorporating YouTube into their sponsorship conversations? How are YouTube Channel Memberships being used by some clubs as an extension of their OTT platforms? And in some cases could it be a more cost-effective alternative? Should creators be viewed differently now that much of the output is almost broadcast quality in terms of the production and storytelling? And which teams and broadcasters are working with them well? With athletes such Jude Bellingham becoming creators – how are they developing different content formats and commercialising their own YouTube channels? What benefits are rightsholders and broadcasters seeing from having live games on the platform? Where is AI being used in the YouTube platform to create new content and commercial opportunities?

Dr. Dan interviews husband-and-wife team Jean Linscott, Ph.D. and Kenneth Ruoff, Ph.D.about their new book What is the Goal?: The Truth About the Youth Sports Industry. With Dr. Dan, Dr. Ken and Dr. Jean explore how the current youth sports industry, pay-to-play sports, and the quest for prestige can cause unintended harm to young athletes and their families.  This episode explores how children and parents can both experience the pressures of belonging to a sports team along with feeling the need to have a "return on investment" and how this can lead to resentment, poor mental health, and injuries that can stop a career before it even starts.  Dr. Dan, Dr. Jean, and Dr. Ken also ask: since sports can be a ticket into prestigious schools are the benefits worth the risks?  Kenneth Ruoff, Ph.D., is a professor of history at Portland State University and the author of several award-winning books. From the perspective of a historian, he is astonished, in comparison to what he experienced as a kid, at how drastically different a youth-sports environment his family has faced these past two decades.

She has been working professionally with children and families for over thirty years in hospital-based, clinic, and private-practice settings.  She and Kenneth Ruoff are the parents of three athletes who are veterans of the Youth Sports Industry.

In this riveting episode, Dr. Linscott and Dr. Ruoff explore how the current youth sports industry, pay-to-play sports, and the quest for prestige can cause unintended harm to young athletes and their families. Children and parents can both feel the pressure of belonging to a sports team where you feel the need to have a "return on investment," leading to resentment, suffering mental health, and injuries that can stop a career before it even starts. Jean Linscott, Ph.D., a clinical child psychologist, and husband Kenneth Ruoff, Ph.D are the co-authors of the newly released book "What is the Goal: The Truth About the Youth Sports Industry".

Joining the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics and the Flame Bearers, celebrating women athletes changing the Sports Industry. This year is the first Olympics with gender parity. And it's only fitting to have a conversation with Jamie Mittelman, Founder of Flame Bearers. Jamie doesn't want to tell the stories of these trailblazing female athletes. No, she wants to empower these women to share their stories by telling them in their own words. Media coverage of women athletes represents just 15% of sports coverage. Of that 15%, the majority 'look just like me' as Jamie says...white and able-bodies from the global north. Jamie and Flame Bearers is on a mission to change that by also telling stories of brown and black, LGBTQ, and women and girls with disabilities. Providing diverse role models so that little girls know that they can do it too. The first media production company dedicated to 'elevating the best women athletes in the world', Flame Bearers has worked with over 135 Olympians and Paralympians from 65 countries.
