A Proactive Coaching podcast interview with Skip Lord, longtime college coach and athletic director at Houghton College in New York and a Proactive Coaching regional speaker.

Introduction
Bruce: Good morning, and welcome to Proactive Coaching and our podcast series. Our guest today is Skip Lord. Skip is a great friend. He’s been a college coach, a college athletic director, and an administrator at Houghton College in New York. He is also one of our regional speakers, and this is kind of an opportunity for our audience to get a chance to meet and get familiar with our speakers. So, Skip, welcome to the show.
Skip: Thanks for having me, Bruce. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Bruce: So give us a little bit of your background and your family, and how you ended up at Houghton.
