The Disease of Left & Right: Culture, Confidence & Communication | Coaching Minutiae Podcast

Season 1

In this episode, Coach Gabby Smith (Richmond High School, IN) sits down with Nic to talk about the real work behind player development, communication, and culture. From managing multi-sport athletes to rebuilding trust, from learning to coach with grace to teaching kids the power of next-play mindset, this conversation reminds us why we do what we do.

You’ll hear powerful moments on:
~The art of communication with this generation of players and parents
~Why giving athletes “the why” transforms their buy-in
~The “Disease of Left and Right” — how comparison kills growth
~Building confidence, leadership, and culture through accountability and love
~The emotional and spiritual side of coaching — where purpose meets preparation

Whether you’re a coach, parent, or player, this one hits home. It’s not just a podcast — it’s professional development for the heart.
