Jerome Tang: Winning The Day

This week Andrew talks with new Kansas State University Men’s Basketball Head Coach Jerome Tang. Before joining Kansas State earlier this year, Jerome spent 19 seasons with Baylor as an assistant and associate head coach. He helped lead Baylor to an NCAA National Championship in 2021 and two consecutive Big 12 regular season titles in 2021 and 2022. As you'll hear in this conversation, when Jerome interviewed for the job at Baylor nearly 20 years ago he had just $10.81 to his name. His story is all about relentless determination, a can-do spirit, and a commitment above all else to serve others. This conversation is filled with timeless lessons to help you win the day and get on the road to achieving your most ambitious goals. Show Highlights:2:14 - Getting started at K State3:16 - Interviewing for job at Baylor3:25 - Turning $10.81 into a dream4:47 - Selling your vision to others6:34 - Recruiting approach6:55 - Developing the whole person7:29 - Role of Jerome's parents9:46 - Benefits of serving in multi-faceted roles10:30 - Learning from others11:16 - Balancing person over production11:46 - Creating work/life balance12:52 - Serving as a role model14:51 - Coach Tang's 3 "Non-Negotiables"19:23 - Building a consistent winner21:11 - Adapting communication styles22:10 - Creating a team environment22:43 - Impact of NIL and transfer portal23:31 - Building personal relationships24:55 - LeadershipCONNECT WITH ANDREW ON SOCIALTwitter: @andrewhmosesInstagram: @AndrewMoses123NEWSLETTERSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter!
