The son of Northern Kentucky high school coaching legend, Mike Listerman, Kevin is beginning to leave his own coaching legacy in Kentucky. Capturing the 2021 KHSAA (Kentucky) State Championship, Kevin details his start in coaching, the journey to become a head coach, and building the championship culture that now exists at Highlands High School.

This is a great listen for coaches who get bogged down in the building process of their program and struggle to see the light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel. Ever the optimist, Coach Listerman lets us inside his personal development strategies as well as the strategies he’s found to work in developing his team.

One key moment is when he discusses what used to work, what still works, and what he’s hoping works going forward from an X & O standpoint.

You’ll definitely find your take-a-way from this episode.
