Ep 123 What Kind of Leader Do Players Actually Follow?

https://teachhoops.com/ Leadership in basketball isn’t about titles, volume, or control — it’s about the daily habits your players see, feel, and follow. In this episode, Coach Collins breaks down the real behaviors that separate leaders who earn trust from leaders who simply hope for it. From body language to communication to consistency, you’ll learn how the small things shape the entire identity of your team. You’ll also hear how “being the lighthouse, not the storm” changed the trajectory of a program. When coaches shift from reacting emotionally to leading intentionally, players respond with more confidence, courage, and clarity. This episode dives into the mindset behind staying calm under pressure and creating standards your team can anchor to all season long. If you’re ready to build a team culture that lasts longer than a winning streak, this one is for you. Listen in, reflect honestly, and walk away with practical leadership habits you can use today.
