In this episode of the D3P Division III Baseball Podcast we interview Steve Bartlein, first-year head coach at University of Wisconsin River Falls—a program that has been reinstated after being shut down for financial reasons over 22 years ago. During this interview we cover Coach Bartlein's experience as a DIII player, his path to coaching and to River Falls, the process of rebuilding a program from the ground up, recruiting as a new program, his coaching staff, and his measures of success going forward.00:00:00-Introduction00:10:42-Coach's Path Through Baseball00:14:21-Playing in College00:16:44-A Passion for Education00:19:52-Leaving Teaching for Coaching00:22:20-Finding the River Falls Job00:25:11-The Interview Process00:28:44-Finding a Place to Start00:33:38-Excitement in the Program00:36:32-The New Coaching Staff00:41:52-Pulling the First Roster Together00:49:27-Starting with a Blank Slate00:55:58-Lightning Round00:56:45-New Uniform Kits01:01:28-Favorite Piece of Coaching Advice01:03:13-Winning That First Game01:04:28-Five Year Vision for the Program
