About this episode

In this episode of Making BIG Shifts, host Josh Anderson sits down with Dr. Barry Davis, longtime college baseball coach and author of Old Dog New Tricks, to discuss the leadership principles that transform struggling teams into elite programs. After nearly four decades in coaching, Dr. Davis pursued a PhD in sports leadership where he studied how top coaches quickly turn around failing programs and sustain long-term success. Through interviews with elite Division I baseball coaches who collectively earned 8,000+ wins and multiple national championships, he identified key leadership principles that separate good coaches from great ones.
