This week’s guest is Alan McDougal, head baseball coach at Colleyville Heritage High School in Colleyville, TX. Alan is widely regarded as one of the top coaches in the game when it comes to developing a mindset and a championship culture. He has coached multiple Major League players and routinely puts players into Division One college baseball. In this podcast McDougal shares insight into how he uses the classroom to develop the mental game with his players, DUDES as the acronym for his program’s championship culture, and how he runs a fast-paced and up-tempo style practice with his program. He also shares one of the most amazing stories about former Notre Dame football coach Tyrone Willingham that you won’t want to miss.
