Episode #164: Coleman Lee

🎙️ Coleman Lee: Doing It Your Way and Building a Winner | Ep. 164 In this episode of the Significant Coaching Podcast, Matt Rogers sits down with Central Methodist University Head Volleyball Coach Coleman Lee, who has led the Eagles to six straight NAIA National Tournament appearances. Coleman shares how his program is built through high-level training, long-term player development, and a commitment to doing the work—especially in those early years when nothing is guaranteed. They dive into the realities of recruiting in today’s landscape, the impact of the transfer portal, and why developing freshmen has been essential to CMU’s success. The conversation also explores leadership, team culture, and how intentional relationship-building—from book studies to “speed dating” teammate exercises—has shaped his teams both on and off the court. This is a real look at what it takes to build something that lasts. 🔗 Learn more about Coleman Lee: https://www.cmueagles.com/sports/wvball/coaches/Lee_Coleman?view=bio 🎙️ Significant Coaching Podcast – Episode 164 🎯 Followed by Significant Recruiting – Episode 165 🎧 Listen: coachmattrogers.com/podcast 📺 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachMattRogers Send us Fan Mail Significant Recruiting: The Playbook for Prospective College Athletes Don't rely on mere chance.
