Thanks for joining us today on the Success is a Choice podcast network. When my most recent book “The Bus Trip” came out, I was asked by Mike Klinzing, the host of the Hoop Heads podcast to come on his show. Mike Klinzing is a former Kent State basketball player who played there a few years before I arrived as a Graduate Assistant back in the 1990s. If you are a basketball coach, this is a great podcast to subscribe to if you aren’t already subscribed to it. They have big-time guests. I was honored to go on the show and talk about how the fictional story The Bus Trip and how it can really help athletes understand how to be better teammates and more positive leaders. I hope you enjoy learning a little bit more about me and my latest book. Thanks again for tuning in and remember that success is a choice, what choice will you make today?
