A Proactive Coaching podcast conversation between Rob Miller, partner at Proactive Coaching, and Darin Boysen, executive director of the Nebraska Coaches Association, about the Nebraska Sportsmanship and Leadership Summits — held for 18 years, with Proactive Coaching facilitating for the past seven — reaching nearly 1,500 student-athletes and coaches across Nebraska each year. Topics covered: the mission of the Nebraska Coaches Association, the hands-on summit format, current issues facing athletes and coaches (equity and safe environments, culture and standards, athletics as the front porch of the community), Nebraska's three-organization partnership, intentional coaching versus being defined by wins and losses, reaching young coaches, the number one lesson (relationships, without coddling), keeping a learning heart, and the tension between the educational model and the business/club model of athletics.
