The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and basketball.
Those are kind of my things.
In this recent episode of the Hoop Heads Podcast, I discussed my journey as a high school and college basketball player, a high school coach (at my alma mater in Elkhart Lake, WI), and as the founder and program director of Mammoth Basketball.
From Hoop Heads:
“On this episode Mike & Mike discuss the evolution of coaching in small-town settings, addressing the unique challenges faced in maintaining competitive programs with limited resources. We delve into the importance of nurturing youth talent and fostering a supportive community, emphasizing that success in coaching extends beyond mere wins and losses. Koehler candidly shares his journey, illustrating how dedication to player development and ethical coaching principles can lead to transformative experiences for both athletes and coaches alike. His insights on the challenges of transitioning from a player to a coach offer a candid glimpse into the hurdles of establishing a successful program, particularly at a small public high school where resources and player numbers may be limited. This conversation serves as a reminder of the profound impact that basketball can have on young people’s lives, shaping their character and resilience.”
