Player Development PodPlayer DevelopmentPodcast

Nov 11

Creating and producing the Player Development Pod has been a great joy for me. I spoke in detail about this in a blog post. (https://www.btfprogram.com/blog/10k-plays-what-ive-learned-about-podcasting)

Season One’s purpose was to provide education and insight into the player development profession. Season Two’s purpose was to highlight those who do the work in the player development space. There are many different titles these guests hold, but the common denominator is they all help enhance the lives of athletes.

I have enjoyed getting to hear the work these incredible professionals provide for those under their influence. One thing I’ve done personally for my growth is take away three things from our conversations. I’ve shared these takeaways on social media but wanted to expand the reach of these gems by bringing them to the blog space.

This #3Takeaways blog highlights James Sherman. Here is a link to our conversation: https://youtu.be/CCKesrl8usk

Enjoy the below takeaways.

1. Be Where Your Feet Are

James shares that he was working an event and the new HC at Texas State saw him working. They struck up a ten-minute conversation and then BOOM, he gets the Player Development job offer.

2. Serve In The Moment

James spoke about serving without thinking of something in return. He spoke about how challenging that could be but encouraged others to be present while serving. There is a reward that will come from your faithfulness.

3. Be Authentic

James talked about being authentic in any influence you have in life. He mentioned a Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast quote, about people following leaders who are real. When your real people will reciprocate your authenticity and follow you.

Player Development Advice: “Serve without expecting something in return.”
