from Say More Words · host Tamika Taylor

Song of the Day: Who Let the Dogs Out? By The Baha MenIn this episode of Say More Words, Tamika sits down with college friend, Joe Lippert, who shares how rugby has shaped his entire adult life from a Wisconsin farm kid to a coach who built a global community through determination, couch-surfing, and unwavering belief in his dream to make a living in the sport, even meeting his wife through rugby. Joeski speaks passionately about the power of rugby’s culture, the importance of developing an authentic American rugby identity, and his hope to help grow the game through youth development and stronger support for American coaches. At its core, the conversation is about community, courage, and choosing the long game, even when no one else can see the vision yet.Follow Joeski:SubstacksRugby Coach Joe https://jlippert.substack.com/Inflation is Theft https://inflationistheft.substack.com/YouTube ChannelsRugby Coach Joe: https://www.youtube.com/@rugbycoachjoe Inflation is Theft: https://www.youtube.com/@InflationIsTheft Vail Rugby https://www.vailrfc.com/
