    Kevin Connors - Million Coaches Challenge Lead & Managing Director at the Susan Crown Exchange - Episode 1232
    Mar 30 2026
    Kevin Connors is the Managing Director at Susan Crown Exchange, where he oversees grantmaking, leads new initiatives, and co-develops organizational strategy. Kevin has helped lead the Million Coaches Challenge, a national initiative launched by the Susan Crown Exchange in 2021 to transform youth sports by training one million coaches in evidence-based youth development practices. Backed by 18+ partners, including the Aspen Institute’s Project Play and research led by the American Institutes for Research, the Million Coaches Challenge is transforming youth sports by equipping coaches with the information and tools to create positive, inclusive environments that help young people build confidence, belonging, and life skills through sport.On this episode Mike & Kevin discuss the Million Coaches Challenge, which strives to train one million coaches in evidence-based youth development practices. The conversation explores the critical gaps in training that many coaches face, highlighting the fact that a considerable percentage lack even the basic knowledge necessary to promote healthy development among young athletes. Connors underscores the importance of creating supportive, inclusive environments where children can thrive not only athletically but also socially and emotionally. He believes that the role of a coach transcends mere technical instruction, advocating for a more holistic approach that nurtures the personal growth of each athlete. As the discussion unfolds, Connors reflects on his own experiences in youth sports, sharing poignant stories that illustrate the profound impact that empathetic coaching can have on a child's development. He emphasizes the need for coaches to cultivate meaningful relationships with their players, asserting that understanding what motivates each individual is paramount to fostering a positive sports experience. The dialogue further explores the pressing issues of mental health among youth athletes, with Connors advocating for a collective effort among coaches, parents, and organizations to prioritize emotional well-being alongside competitive success. Through the Million Coaches Challenge, there is a concerted push to redefine success in youth sports, moving beyond traditional metrics such as wins and losses to focus on the development of essential life skills. The episode culminates in a discussion of the fragmented landscape of youth sports, where existing structures often inhibit effective coaching practices. Connors calls for a unified approach that engages stakeholders at all levels - from grassroots organizations to systemic policymakers - to create a culture that values quality coaching as a fundamental standard. He expresses optimism about the future of the Million Coaches Challenge, envisioning a world where coaches are equipped with the tools, resources, and support necessary to foster environments that promote the well-being and development of young athletes. The overarching message is clear: by investing in the training and development of coaches, we can reshape the youth sports experience for the better, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @hoopheadspod for the latest updates on episodes, guests, and events from the Hoop Heads Pod.Make sure you’re subscribed to the Hoop Heads Pod on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts and while you’re there please leave us a 5 star rating and review.
