The Assistant Coach's Role In Building Team Culture

The Assistant Head Coach of the Boys Varsity Basketball Team at Fairview High School in Fairview Park, Ohio James Ranc (pronounced rantz) talks about what assistant coaches should be doing when it comes to building team culture. He has also shared a 3-bullet point list that contains advice every assistant coach needs to hear. And his answer to "What's the coolest place you've ever played, coached or watched a game" is the best one we've had so far.

About the Podcast

Courtside Culture

How to Cultivate a Great Team Culture and Win at the Same Time

Host Dave Grendzynski is a firm believer in positive psychology, especially when it comes to building a high school basketball program. When coaches provide a positive pathway for their players and parents, they’ll start building a good team culture and the wins will take care of themselves.

On the “Courtside Culture Podcast,” we’ll talk to coaches, psychologists, authors, and players about how the right mindset causes everything else to fall into place—especially in high school. The psyche of 15-, 16-, and 17-year-old kids are very fragile and the approach a coach takes means everything.

If you’re a coach and you can learn to focus on positive emotions and building your players’ strengths, instead of repairing their weaknesses, you’ll find a role for everyone, win games, and build a good team culture at the same time.
