Mike Snyder is a guy I’ve known for years now, and someone I truly respect as a coach. He’s the physical preparation coach at Trinity High School in Louisville, Kentucky, and someone I think all of us can learn a thing or two from.
In this show, Mike and I talk about how his 3-4 months of selling cell phones made him realize just how much he loved coaching, his roles and duties as a high school physical preparation coach, and his philosophy on young athlete development.
