Ep. 11, Steve Forbes - Traveling the Road As It Comes

Send a textIn this episode, we visit with Wake Forest head coach Steve Forbes for a candid, wide-ranging conversation that traces his path from small-town Lone Tree, Iowa, to the bright lights of the ACC. Coach Forbes reflects on the values instilled in him growing up, the mentors and️ who shaped him on and off the court, and the lessons players have taught him along the way—from junior college gyms to major-conference arenas. With his trademark honesty and humor (yes, the moped story makes an appearance), he opens up about leadership, resilience through adversity, and what it truly means to be a “players’ coach.” At its core, this episode explores how staying grounded, authentic, and people-first has defined Steve Forbes—and the legacy he hopes his players carry forward long after the final buzzer.
