Babson College Head Women’s Basketball Coach Kate Barnosky joins Matt Rogers for a conversation about connecting with today’s athletes without lowering expectations.
Kate shares how she balances empathy and accountability, why coaches need to understand the individual they’re leading, and how Babson’s three core values—Connect. Communicate. Compete.—shape everything from relationships and recruiting to practices and player development.
They also talk about adapting how we teach, building trust, creating competitive practices, learning from great mentors, and pushing athletes toward their potential while still coaching the whole person.
It’s a conversation about what significant coaching looks like with today’s student-athletes.
