Player DevelopmentPlayer Development PodPodcast

Nov 10

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 Syndric Steptoe. Here is a link to our conversation: https://youtu.be/s16fdnc87Rs

Enjoy the below takeaways.

1. Don’t Despise Small Beginnings

In the episode Step shared he began as an intern at the University of Arizona after his NFL and entrepreneur career. Even though he was older and had different experiences he accepted the role and excelled.

2. Strategic Career Movement

Syndric stepped away from his role in athletics to work on campus with the foresight that leaving would allow him to be in the role he wanted. Take strategic risks in your career.

3. Be Patient and Be Ready

In the episode the advice Step gave those who want to be in player development is to be patient as you wait. As you wait he advised to create your portfolio for your time in the role.

Player Development Advice: “Patience. It takes time, patience, and relationship building.”
