Seth Greenberg On: Lessons From 30+ Years of Coaching, Coach K & The Camp That Built Michael Jordan

Episode 112 Published 1 week ago

Description

Prior to taking the position at ESPN Seth Greenberg was a coach for 34 years, the last 22 as a head coach. Greenberg has been the head coach at Long Beach State, the University of South Florida, and Virginia Tech. He was a two-time ACC Coach of the Year.

This conversation is about what all those years actually taught him. Inside: the mindset he calls "being an everyday guy" and why he believes winning and losing are byproducts of something else entirely, the story of the night he got thrown out at Duke — and what happened three weeks later, the legendary summer camp where he learned in the shadow of Bob Knight and Chuck Daly while future Hall of Famers ran the courts, the mentor who saved his career in 1983, and his rule for handling critics who've never walked in your shoes.

Plus: what he learned about resilience, why he says the grind is a privilege, and the advice he gives every young player trying to make it.
