Listen "Time Out for Better Coaching - Featuring Rodney Anderson"
Episode Synopsis
Rodney Anderson has played and coached at many levels of football. From pee-wee to semipro, and from player to commissioner, there isn't much in this game he hasn't seen. In this episode, Rodney shares from his wealth of experience. Here's a breakdown of our conversation:
0:00 - 7:30 - Rodney talks about his many stops along his football journey, and the connections he's made along the way.
7:30 - 14:30 - Rodney talks about relating to players, and introduces an insightful look at what it takes to be a leader: "You can't lead if you've never been in the back."
14:30 - 28:05 - Rodney discusses what drew him to coaching, and then delivers a Master Class on the ups and downs that high school athletes go through as they follow their football journey. Through the experiences of his sons, he reminds coaches and players and parents that there are no straight lines in sports. And for that reason, it's crucial that everyone keep perspective about athletics and the real end game.
28:05 - End - More than a football coach, Rodney is a vocalist and an artist. Here he talks about how the worlds of athletics and the arts combine.
