Episode #186: Andrew Kachel

from Significant Coaching with Matt Rogers Hosted by Matt Rogers

⚾ Building a Program a Community Believes In with Andrew Kachel Winning games is one thing. Building a program that an entire community believes in is something much bigger. On this episode of The Significant Coaching Podcast, Matt Rogers sits down with Andrew Kachel, Head Baseball Coach at Northeastern Junior College, to talk about how he has built far more than a successful college baseball program in Sterling, Colorado. Coach Kachel shares how his players become part of the community through weekly service at local schools, preschools, nursing homes, and youth organizations—and how that community has embraced his players right back. His program averages nearly 2,000 hours of community service while also producing Academic All-American teams and winning at a high level. The conversation also explores family, relationships, coaching young men through adversity, holding players accountable, and why the most meaningful moments in coaching often have nothing to do with the scoreboard. This is a conversation about baseball, leadership, service, family, and building something that matters long after the final out.
