Recording this episode with my Aunt Ellie was incredibly special. Even though she lives all the way in Pennsylvania, she's always been my biggest supporter, never missing a single live stream of my games at Birmingham-Southern. Growing up, I admired her so much. She was the first person in our family to play a college sport, and when I chose my very first jersey number, I picked 21—the number she wore in college.What’s funny is that, even though I didn’t get to choose my number at BSC, I ended up with 10, which just so happened to be Ellie’s number all throughout her childhood. I hadn’t originally planned to record this episode with her, but once I realized we had the chance, I made a special trip home to make it happen. No one loves the game quite like Aunt Ellie — and getting to share this conversation with her was something I’ll never forget. In this episode of Playbook Perspective, I sit down with my Aunt Ellie for a candid conversation about the real challenges coaches face today — from managing team dynamics to navigating the ever-evolving world of sports technology during recruiting. We dive into hot topics like the impact of the transfer portal and how it's reshaping the college sports landscape. We also reflect on my own journey as a student-athlete at Birmingham-Southern College, and we wrap things up with a lighthearted chat about game-day superstitions. Whether you're a coach, athlete, or sports fan, this episode offers insight, laughs, and plenty of food for thought.
