Andrew Paul is the senior athletic performance coach for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Prior to his time in OKC, he also made stops with EXOS and the University of Missouri
Andrew and his staff is one that I’ve always admired, and their set-up in OKC is second-to-none.
In this show, Andrew and I talk about the hierarchy and layout of their performance team, why awareness is so critical in a high performance staff, and what he means when he says his goal is to give his athletes 100% opportunity and 100% guidance.
But enough from me – let’s do this!
