With March Madness right around the corner, The Real Deal Conversations is kicking off a special series where host Megan Deal sits down with local basketball coaches to talk about leadership, team culture, and the lessons that go beyond the game. In this episode, Megan talks with Nixa High School Head Coach Brock Blansit, who reflects on his 28-year coaching career and how his passion for the game has only grown stronger. He shares how he builds positive relationships with players, mentors, and assistant coaches, the importance of making basketball fun while teaching life lessons, and also how his program embraces special needs children. He also opens up about handling pressure, balancing family life, and why his biggest goal is making sure every player (regardless of playing time) feels valued. Even if you're not a fan of basketball, this episode is full of wisdom, inspiration, and a powerful reminder that great leaders don’t just build winning teams, they shape lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
