Welcome back! I am so glad you are here...

This is part two of my conversation with Jerry Snodgrass. Jerry is the 21st guest to the podcast and brings so much experience and insight. He has spent nearly 50 years in the world of high school athletics as a Coach, Athletic Director and former Executive Director of the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

If you haven't listened to part one yet, don't worry. You can go back and listen whenever you have time.  

Today, Jerry and I go deeper into Life Lessons of leadership, loyalty, trust, change, and the Do It for 19 Foundation, which Jerry is heavily involved in. 

This is a Story of Triumph over Adversity.

So settle in. This is part two of my conversation with Jerry Snodgrass ...
