188: Lifelong Learners and Used To Be NFL Fans

The title sums up the conversation in #188. We talk a little bit about trending issues in the NFL, but that's not the important part.

In this episode of The Coaching Life Podcast, Chris and Pat gear up for the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association (OHSBCA) Clinic happening this week in Columbus, Ohio! We dive into the details of this must-attend event for high school baseball coaches, sharing why it’s more than just another conference—it’s an opportunity to grow, connect, and be inspired.

Whether you’ve been coaching for decades or are just getting started, the clinic is packed with sessions that can elevate your knowledge, sharpen your skills, and deepen your impact on the athletes you lead.

We explore the vital importance of being lifelong learners in the coaching world, challenging ourselves and our listeners to stay curious, adapt to new ideas, and constantly improve—both for our athletes and for ourselves.
