Kirsten Bernthal Booth: Planning For Success

This week Andrew is joined by 3x National Coach of the Year & Creighton University Head Volleyball Coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth. In 2002, Kirsten inherited a 3-23 team and since then has led Creighton Volleyball to an unprecedented run of success—winning 8 consecutive Big East titles and reaching the NCAA tournament in 11 of the last 12 seasons. Andrew and Kirsten explore the plan she put in place as a young leader when she took over the program at the age of 27 and how she built Creighton Volleyball into the powerhouse program it is today.  If you lead a group of people in anything and want to achieve big results this conversation is for you. Show Highlights:1:55 - Hiring talented people around you2:55 - Getting creative when searching for talent4:25 - Gaining respect as a young leader6:15 - Building authentic relationships8:30 - Assessing your personal strengths and weaknesses9:25 - Reflecting on your own skills and being open to feedback11:38 - Consistency12:07 - Building an effective plan13:18 - Planning a productive practice session15:48 - Preparing athletes to be mentally resilient16:25 - Building a community around you17:00 - Marketing a team/program from the ground up21:55 - Empathy and understanding of all roles25:20 - Little things that make a big impact28:03 - Role of mentorship Be sure to subscribe & leave a review for the show in your favorite podcast app.Follow Andrew on Twitter: @andrewhmoses and IG: @AndrewMoses123Please tell your friends about Everybody Pulls The Tarp on social media and be sure to tag Andrew in your posts.Sign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter!
