Coach Quincy Lewis: Game Beyond the Game with High School Coaching Icon

Step into our conversation and experience the power of situational practices, the mental gymnastics of a comeback, and the sweet victory of sharing a state championship with his son, Cooper. Quincy's ability to instill resilience in his players is a testament to his masterful approach to coaching, turning high-pressure moments into lessons of triumph.
Embark on the awe-inspiring journey of Lone Peak High School as they chased a national championship. Quincy and I dissect the strategic moves and sacrifices required to transform a group of teenagers into a basketball powerhouse. From strategically scheduling tough out-of-state games to harnessing the collective spirit in pursuit of an audacious dream, these stories encapsulate the very essence of teamwork and leadership. Meanwhile, uncover the contrasts between high school coaching and the college game, including the unique Coach Lewis' experiences at BYU, where players return from missions with a new set of priorities that redefine their approach to the sport.
