“Don’t Mess with Happy” — Kevin Brooks on Building a DII Powerhouse at Angelo State
In this episode of the Significant Coaching Podcast, Matt Rogers sits down with one of the true legends of Division II baseball — Kevin Brooks, Head Baseball Coach at Angelo State University.
With over 800 career wins, seven College World Series appearances, and a 2023 national title, Coach Brooks has turned ASU into a perennial powerhouse. But beyond the trophies and records, what makes him truly special is his humility, his passion for the game, and his relentless drive to compete.
Coach Brooks reflects on the lessons learned during two decades at the helm, how he defines success, why he still sees himself as a “competitor,” and the simple but powerful advice that has shaped his coaching: “Don’t mess with happy.”
Whether you’re a coach, parent, or athlete, this conversation is packed with wisdom, perspective, and leadership gold.
