Can you build a high-performance culture if you're not developing yourself as a coach? In this episode of the Coaching Culture Podcast, JP is joined by Tyler and Mark from SAVI Basketball for a powerful conversation on coaching competency, leadership credibility, and why your effectiveness as a coach directly impacts your team culture.

We dig into why "culture eats strategy for breakfast" — but bad coaching makes you want to throw up. If your players can't trust that you'll make them better, no amount of team-building activities will save your culture.

🔑 In this episode, you'll learn:

Why coaching competency is the foundation of team culture

How hypocrisy from leadership silently erodes everything you're building

Why you must be believable as a coach before culture can thrive

The difference between a Level 1 and Level 3 culture

Where to start if your coaching is the ceiling on your team's performance

How to lead yourself first before leading others⚠️ This is Part 1 of a 2-part conversation.
