Coach and Coordinator Podcasts
In the first of a two-part podcast, Tony DeMeo sits down with Keith Grabowski to hit on a variety of topics. The former head coach at Iona (N.Y.), Mercyhurst (Pa.) and Washburn (Kan.) discusses the coaching lessons he learned from Jim Valvano, the difference between knowing how to coach and being a coach, and the four key statistics that correlate with winning.
In part two of our conversation with Tony DeMeo, the former MIAA Coach of the Year discusses his “Four Aces” system for evaluating effort and establishing positive culture. DeMeo also details why he teaches center snapping to all of his linemen and why talent is meaningless without work ethic.
