🎙️ Tracks To Success | Ted Valentine: Commanding the Court & Earning Respect Under Pressure
He’s officiated Final Fours, handled the heat of March Madness, and stood in the middle of college basketball’s most high-stakes moments. But Ted Valentine is more than just the man in stripes—they call him “TV Teddy” for a reason.
With over 40 years of experience as one of the NCAA’s most recognizable referees, Valentine has built a career defined by presence, precision, and unshakable confidence. He’s taken the noise, the scrutiny, and the spotlight—and turned it into sustained performance at the highest level.
In this episode, host Kraig Kann sits down with the officiating icon to explore what it takes to lead when everyone’s watching… and judging. From the psychology of staying calm to the art of making tough calls in real time, Ted shares a masterclass in poise, preparation, and personal conviction.
What’s it like to command the court when every coach, player, and fan is watching your every move? And how do you build a legacy in a role designed to be invisible?
🎧 Listen in as they cover:
- How to perform under pressure—and bounce back from it
- The mindset of presence and leadership in high-stakes environments
- Why criticism can’t define your confidence
- Lessons in communication from a man who’s heard it all
This episode isn’t just for sports fans. It’s for anyone who wants to lead with certainty, stand tall in their role, and own the moment—even when the world pushes back.
