Coaching Yourself First - Chad Stoloff

Chad Stoloff was the head women's coach at the University of Northern Colorado. Unfortunately, the program came to an abrupt end in the summer of 2020 due to athletic department financial concerns around the Covid-19 pandemic.   Chad began his career as a volunteer coach at San Diego State before eventually making his way to the head men’s coaching role at the University of Nevada, where he led the teams to many program firsts between 2005 & 2009. He also served as the head men’s and women’s coach at Springfield College from 2015 to 2018.    We discuss with Chad his transitions in and out of coaching and from one division to another, dealing with the cancellation of the program at UNC, how he balances his intense love of learning with application, and most importantly coach mental health.
