Ben Josephson is the head coach of the Trinity Western Spartans, a program that has put a lot of players on the Canadian National team in the last years. Ben started coaching that team at only 27 years old. He had almost no past coaching experience and had to learn everything while coaching one of the best team in the country. A lot of things could have gotten wrong but his passion for learning allowed him to stay on top of things and to transition smoothy into the head coach position.

Ben is a coach who cares, he says it himself, caring about your playing and wanting the best for them is at the core of being a coach. In this episodes, Ben cares about us and he shares with us his best tips on finding your coaching philosophy. He explains why you should make it short, like an elevator pitch in the business world. You will want to go back to the drawing board if you still haven’t defined your own coaching philosophy.

For him, communication is essential and it shows in the way he communicates his ideas. Despite the sound not being the best, his episode is very smooth.

I hope you enjoy my interview with Ben Josephson
