Ep. 933 – How to Prepare & Lead Like a Championship Coach with Matthew Mitchell (@yocoachmitchell)

“Excellence is its own reward.” – Matthew Mitchell

Today’s featured Wall Street Journal best-selling bookcaster is a father, husband, speaker, leadership coach, three-time SEC Coach of the Year, and the winningest head coach in the history of the University of Kentucky women's basketball program, Matthew Mitchell. Matt and I had a fun on a bun chat about his book, “Ready to Win: How Great Leaders Succeed through Preparation”, his transition to entrepreneurship, what helped shape his coaching philosophy, and more!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

What inspired him to become a coach

Why preparation is important for leadership success

What setback set up Coach Matt for more success

Why faith is a major part of Coach Matt’s success

The importance of striving for excellence over perfection

How his early experiences in sports and the mentorship of legendary coach Pat Summitt have shaped his approach to leadership and coaching
