In this episode of Making the Team, Erik Soderborg sits down with Connor Patten, head basketball coach at Tintic High School, a small-town program in Eureka, Utah.
Tintic is a 1A school - the smallest classification of high schools in the state. Coach Patten opens up about what it’s really like to lead a basketball team in a community where every player matters, every season is personal, and resources are limited — but passion runs deep.
🎙 Topics include:
Coaching challenges at a small high school
How to build a strong team culture with a small roster
Balancing mentorship, leadership, and development
The emotional highs and lows of rural coaching
Why small schools still matter in the world of high school sports
If you’re a coach, player, or sports fan who believes in the power of heart over hype, this conversation will inspire and motivate you.
