Casey Stanley: Head Coach of Layton Christian Academy Boys Basketball | The Gametime Guru

I had the chance to watch Layton Christian Academy compete at the Pro Image Sports Holiday Classic in Meridian, Idaho (Owyhee High School), and I was immediately intrigued by the way they carried themselves, competed, and ultimately won the tournament championship.

Even more fascinating: Layton Christian is an international school with a roster made up of 15 players from 15 different countries.

In this episode, Head Coach Casey Stanley breaks down what makes the program special and shares lessons that apply far beyond basketball, including:

• How he got into coaching at 6 years old (growing up around Iona College basketball)
• What college coaching is really like: the hours, travel, grind, and "grunt work"
• Why the best coaches and players succeed without ego (leadership takeaway)
• How international teams overcome language barriers (including stories using Google Translate)
• Why learning to "hug the win" matters for coaches, leaders, and business owners
• If you're a basketball junkie, a coach, a parent, or an athlete who loves the game — this one is for you.
