Courtside Culture

By: Hoop Heads Podcast Network
  • Summary

  • Host Dave Grendzynski is a firm believer in positive psychology, especially when it comes to building a high school basketball program. When coaches provide a positive pathway for their players and parents, they’ll start building a good team culture and the wins will take care of themselves. On the “Courtside Culture Podcast,” we’ll talk to coaches, psychologists, authors, and players about how the right mindset causes everything else to fall into place—especially in high school. The psyche of 15-, 16-, and 17-year-old kids are very fragile and the approach a coach takes means everything. If you’re a coach and you can learn to focus on positive emotions and building your players’ strengths, instead of repairing their weaknesses, you’ll find a role for everyone, win games, and build a good team culture at the same time.

  • Dr. Dobie Moser, Director of CYO
    Feb 28 2022

    Dr. Dobie Moser is the Director of CYO - Catholic Youth Organization. He's a former college tennis player who was also a member of the U-S Olympic Committee and Co-Director of the University of Notre Dame's "Play Like a Champion Today" national coaches training program.

    Plus, he was a Head Tennis Pro at a camp and resort north of Toronto, Ontario, for five summers and in the North Shore area of Chicago at a private club. He also helped to coach at the Special Olympics.

    It was an email that Dr. Moser put out to parents that prompted us to contact him. He used words in this email that he hasn't used in almost 30 years of involvement in youth sports.

    In this episode he talks about the email and what prompted it. He also shares what he finds is most concerning in youth sports and what he's most hopeful about.

    What all good-culture building coaches typically ask themselves.

    Also, what's the most valuable part of youth sports? It's not wins and losses.

    He tells us what Netflix movie you should be watching right now and he explains how a simple question got him the best seats at a Harry Chapin concert once.
